1. Electrically conductive sheeting comprising a plurality of polymeric chips of pre-determined shape, each having an upper surface, a lower surface and at least one vertically disposed edge between said surfaces;
- an electrically conductive material coating the surface of said vertically disposed edge extending from said upper surface to said lower surface of said chip sufficient to transmit electrostatic charge from the upper surface to the lower surface of the article, said chips arranged as a single layer bonded along the vertically disposed edges to form electrically conductive sheeting.

9. A process for manufacturing electrically conductive sheeting which comprises moving a conductively-coated or impregnated support;
- beneath the outlet of a chip feeder distributing a single layer of a plurality of thermoplastic chips to substantially cover said moving support, said chips, each having an upper surface, a lower surface, vertically disposed edges coated with an electrically conductive material and the distance between upper and lower surfaces being from about 30 mils to about 90 mils;
adding thermoplastic material onto said layer of chips to fill any void spaces between chips;
heating and applying pressure to consolidate said single layer of chips and said support into electrically conductive sheeting.
