An antistatic and/or electrically conductive floor covering which comprises a sheet of a thermoplastic synthetic resin which is substantially electrically non-conductive, said sheet having a plurality of holes penetrating therethrough and electrically conductive material filling said holes with one side of the sheet being coated with said conductive material so that the materials in each of said holes are connected to one another.

Antistatic and/or electrically conductive floor covering, as well as

An apparatus for the continuous manufacture of phenolic resin foam in an endless sheet which includes mixing means for expandable liquid phenolic resin with a blowing agent and an acid-containing curing agent, optionally with the addition of additives, and means for processing the mixture in a temperature-controllable double belt press. The apparatus also comprises a device for cooling the phenolic resin to a temperature of from about 8.degree. to about 15.degree. C., a mixing section for admixing a blowing agent under a high pressure with said resin to form a resin premix, for mixing said resin premix with a curing agent resin to form a resin premix, and mixing said resin premix with a curing agent and other foam additives to form a curable reaction mixture, an applicator device for continuously applying said mixture uniformily onto a moving substrate, a unit for covering the mixture on said substrate with a continuous protective layer, a conveyor belt for passing the covered mixture into the double belt press, means for heating the belt press to promote foaming of the mixture under pressure until a desired sheet thickness has been obtained and a device for measuring the foam pressure within said belt press so that the foaming pressure and also the sheet thickness can be regulated.

A process and apparatus for continuous production of molded sheets of a foamed thermoplastic synthetic resin, wherein a synthetic resin is fed into a screw extruder and a low boiling point liquid expanding agent is introduced under high pressure into the extruder and admixed with the resin in the extruder and thereafter the resulting admixture is extruded in the form of a plurality of foam filaments to insure proper distribution of the admixture to the nozzles of the extruder. A gear pump is provided for each nozzle. Also, to avoid collapsing of the foam means are provided for tempering the foam filaments by the application of heat.
