Abstract: By pouring a solution containing hydrolyzable tin and antimony salts into an aqueous dispersion of titanium oxide particles and mixing, the salts are caused to hydrolyze, whereby a uniform and strongly adherent coating layer of antimony-containing tin oxide is formed on the surface of each particle of the titanium oxide. The coated powder thus obtained is non-hygroscopic and non-toxic and exhibits stable electroconductivity. Furthermore, since it can possess excellent whiteness, it is suitable for forming the electroconductive layers of electro-thermosensitive papers and electrostatic recording papers, for use as the antistatic agent of resins, and for other uses.

Abstract: An antimony-containing tin oxide wherein the content of antimony is 0.1 to 20% by weight is almost white and excels in electric conductivity. By mixing a powder of this antimony-containing tin oxide of a particle size of 0.4 .mu.m or less with a binder resin in a specific ratio, an antistatic coating composition can be obtained. By applying this coating on nonconductive base materials such as electronic/electrical parts and building members, an antistatic effect can be imparted to these base materials without impairing their color tones.
