Patent number: 9058918Abstract: TRXLPE-type cable sheaths are prepared by a method in which a solid polymer is mixed with a liquid water tree-resistant agent either by dosing or direct injection. In the dosing method, the solid polymer, e.g., high pressure LDPE, is sprayed or otherwise contacted with the liquid agent, e.g., PEG, the agent is allowed to absorb into the polymer, and the polymer with absorbed agent is then fed to an extrusion apparatus for extrusion over a sheathed or unsheathed wire or optic fiber. In the direct injection method, the solid polymer is first fed to an extrusion apparatus, and the liquid agent is sprayed or otherwise contacted with the polymer before the two are blended with one another through the action of the mixing elements of the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2009Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology LLCInventors: Paul J. Caronia, Robert F. Eaton, Jeffrey M. Cogen, Laurence H. Gross, Timothy J. Person, Alfred Mendelsohn, Scott H. Wasserman

Publication number: 20140202732Abstract: The present invention is an improved power cable construction. Through the use of a multi-ply insulation layer, the resulting power cable retains the water tree or electrical tree resistance of generally-used tree-retardant power cables even though a conventional polymer insulation composition substantially replaces the tree-retardant polymer composition. An improved process that takes advantages of the multi-ply system is also taught.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2013Publication date: July 24, 2014Inventor: Alfred MENDELSOHN

Publication number: 20100122833Abstract: Cable insulation layers having excellent mechanical and electrical properties are prepared from a composite free of plasticizer and comprising a heterogeneous, polymeric composition comprising (A) a polypropylene matrix, and (B) a propylene copolymer dispersed within the matrix and (i) comprising more than 80 weight percent (wt %) of units derived from propylene, and (ii) having a weight average particle size of less of than 1 micron (?m). The insulation layer is not only environmental friendly due to the lack of placticizer, but it also maintains its physical and operational integrity at temperatures of at least 90° C.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2009Publication date: May 20, 2010Inventors: Suh J. Han, Scott H. Wasserman, Alfred Mendelsohn

Patent number: 6924435Abstract: A high-voltage direct current cable insulation is made from a blend which includes an ethylene copolymer, such as ethylene-alpha olefin copolymer, with low crystallinity to reduce physical space charge trapping sites, a polar polymer modifier in an effective amount to enhance local conductivity to leak space charge quickly when local stress is enhanced, and an ion scavenger to stabilize or neutralize the space charge to provide a composition which is an effective high-voltage DC cable insulation. A high-voltage direct current cable semiconductive shield is made from a blend that includes an ethylene copolymer, a carbon black having a low level of ionic species, a polar polymer modifier, and an ion scavenger.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2003Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics TechnologyInventors: Jinder Jow, Alfred Mendelsohn
