An antistatic hose for conveying fluids with at least one conductive layer ( 2 ) comprising a first, conductive material ( 3 ) and a second, non-conductive material ( 4 ). The first, conductive material ( 3 ) forms a basic matrix and medium sized blocks ( 5 ) of the second, non-conductive material ( 4 ) are inserted in the basic matrix of first, conductive material ( 3 ). The first, conductive material ( 3 ) forms a continuous conductive path ( 6 ) extending along the entire length of the hose ( 1 ). The second material ( 4 ) is distributed in the matrix of first material ( 3 ) in an uneven and irregular way. The first material ( 3 ) preferably comprises a thermoplastic material to which particles of a conductive material have been added, whilst the second material ( 4 ) is thermoplastic.
