Resistive carbon composite material

The invention relates to the field of electrical engineering, and more particularly to a composite resistive carbon material, and can be used in the preparation of highly electrically conductive pastes and glues which provide reliable electrical contact, and also in the manufacture of industrial and domestic heaters. A resistive carbon composite material comprises current-conducting phases based on highly electrically conductive grades of carbon black in combination with highly electrically conductive colloidal grades of graphite, and a heat-resistant polymer binder. The carbon black, which provides high electrical conductivity, has a specific surface area of not less than 300-600 m2/g and a particle size of from 10 to 50 nm; the colloidal graphite preparations have a graphite particle size of less than 4 [mu]m. The technical result of the claimed invention is increased specific conductivity and reduced resistance as a result of the optimization of the content of binder and of the selection of efficient condu
