Patent ID: 8530001

Claim:
A process for producing an article, comprising: forming an article from a composition comprising a polyamide matrix, wherein the composition comprises: 2 to 10% by weight of carbon black as an electrically conductive filler, with respect to the total weight of the composition, and 1% to 30% by weight of one or more antistatic agents, with respect to the total weight of the composition; and applying paint to the article by electrostatic deposition, wherein one of the antistatic agents is a polyetheramide represented by formula (I): in which: n is an integer between 5 and 50; X represents an oxygen atom or an NH group; PAO represents a poly(alkylene oxide) block; PA represents a polyamide block, the repeat unit of which is represented by either of the formulae (IIa) or (IIb): in which: R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are aromatic or aliphatic radicals having 4 to 36 carbon atoms.
