Patent ID: 8383732

Claim:
A formulation for making static charge dissipation, and corrosive resistant synthetic structural materials configured to support vehicles, heavy equipment, and drilling rigs, the formulation comprising: a. from 50 percent by weight to 92 percent by weight of ground plastic particles, based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the plastic particles comprise: i. polyethylene particles; ii. polyethylene terephthalate particles; or iii. combinations thereof in ratios from 1:10 to 10:1; b. from 0.5 percent by weight to 3.9 percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition, of ground styrene-butadiene rubber particles; c. from 2 percent by weight to 10 percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition of antistatic carbon black particles with diameters between 1/16 th of an inch to ¼ of an inch for preventing static charge buildup, wherein the antistatic carbon black particles allow for partial protrusion of the antistatic carbon black particles through a formed outer surface of the resultant formulation, and wherein the antistatic carbon black particles have randomized particle connections with each other to facilitate dissipation of static charge buildup in the formulation, and wherein the formulation has at least 10 antistatic carbon black particles per square inch of the formulation; and d. from 0.5 percent by weight to 5 percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition, of an ultraviolet stabilizer material; and e. from 0.01 percent by weight to 6 percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition, of a slip resistant material, and the slip resistant material has particles which each have a diameter ranging from 1/16 of an inch to ¼ of an inch dispersed throughout the formulation.
