Abstract: A method of making an electrically conductive and weatherproof enclosure includes mixing and melting an electrically conductive material, a latex rubber material, and a polycarbonate material to produce a weatherproof material mixture, blending carbon black with polyethylene to produce an electrically conductive additive, positioning an injection mold of the enclosure in fluid communication with an exit end of a heating barrel, injecting the weatherproof material mixture into an entry end of the heating barrel, introducing the electrically conductive additive through a lateral port of the heating barrel proximate to the exit end to partially mix with the weatherproof material mixture to produce an injection mixture, and injecting the injection mixture into the injection mold to produce the electrically conductive and weatherproof enclosure.

Abstract: An enclosure and a method of making the enclosure is provided that includes mixing stainless steel, rubber, and polycarbonate to produce a material mixture that is electrically conductive. Carbon black powder and polyethylene are blended to produce an electrically resistive additive for dissipating static electricity. At least one injection mold for the enclosure is positioned in fluid communication with an exit end of a heating barrel. The weatherproof material mixture is injected into an entry end of the heating barrel to produce a melted weatherproof material mixture. The electrically resistive additive is introduced through a lateral port of the heating barrel proximate to the exit end to partially mix with the melted weatherproof material mixture to produce an injection mixture. The injection mixture into the at least one injection mold to produce the enclosure that is weatherproof, electrically conductive, and electrically resistive.
