Conductive roofing materials are formed of a conductive loaded resin-based material. The conductive loaded resin-based material comprises micron conductive
powder(s), conductive
fiber(s), or a combination of conductive
powder and conductive fibers in a base resin host. The percentage by weight of the conductive
powder(s), conductive
fiber(s), or a combination thereof is between about 20% and 50% of the weight of the conductive loaded resin-based material. The micron conductive powders are formed from non-metals, such as carbon,
graphite, that may also be metallic plated, or the like, or from metals such as stainless steel,
nickel,
copper, silver, that may also be metallic plated, or the like, or from a combination of non-
metal, plated, or in combination with,
metal powders. The micron conductor fibers preferably are of
nickel plated carbon
fiber,
stainless steel fiber,
copper fiber, silver fiber, aluminum fiber, or the like.
