Abstract

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing plastic, electrically conductive pressure-formed plates from thermoplastic plastic particles which are mechanically formed. In this method, mechanically formed, thermoplastic particles, each particle having maximum particle diameter in the range of about 1 mm to about 10 mm in the middle of the particle, are mechanically mixed with an amount of at least one electric-current-conducting substance sufficient to provide electrical conductivity. The electric-current-conducting substance is furnished in the form of a plurality of particulate, electrically conducting solid bodies, said mixing being effected in the temperature region below the glass temperature (Tg) of the thermoplastic plastic material of which the thermoplastic particles are comprised. The mixture thus produced is compressed to form plastic pressure-formed plates by means of a pressure-forming device.
