Abstract: Decoration polyvinyl chloride surface covering structures are described which have antistatic or static dissipative capabilities. Several features are described herein which can be taken advantage of to lower the normal conductivity of the polyvinyl chloride sheet and yet still maintain an attractive or decorative appearance.

Abstract: Particulate vinyl resin mixed with a liquid premix of carbon black, plasticizer, etc. provides surface resistivities of 10.sup.4 -10.sup.9 ohm/sq. with as little as 0.2 to 5% by weight carbon black in fused sheets or films useful for conductive flooring or wrapping. Overcoating with a plastisol before fusion provides a smooth surface without loss of static dissipative properties. Conductive TiO.sub.2, Sb/SnO.sub.2, organic titanates, dispersions of carbon black and titanium dioxide, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, epoxidized soybean oil, polyethylene glycol and organic stabilizer are useful for preparing PVC resin compositions.

Abstract: Coating compositions and their preparation are described. The compositions can be used to give surfaces a decreased electrical surface resistivity. Choline antistats are used in amounts of about 2% or less by weight, and are combined with long chain quaternary ammonium salt antistats, in a solution with a binder to give antistatic or stat dissipative coating compositions.

Abstract: A surface dissipative coating is provided of polymethylmethacrylate, choline methosulfate, long chain quaternary antistat, polyglycol monoethyl ether acetone, and fumed silica. A clear aqueous coating composition replaces polymethylmethacrylate with polyurethane. Surface resistivities of 10.sup.6 -10.sup.7 are obtained.
