Abstract: A cable including a conductor surrounded by a covering layer, the covering layer formed from a thermoplastic vulcanizate composition which includes a continuous phase and a dispersed phase. The continuous phase is formed of a thermoplastic polyolefin. The dispersed phase is formed of a cross-linked elastomeric polyolefin. The thermoplastic vulcanizate composition passes the Hot Creep Test at 150° C. in accordance with UL 2556 (2013) and has a dielectric loss of 3 or less. Methods of forming cables with coverings are also disclosed.

Abstract: A data cable can include a plurality of insulated conductors twisted into pairs, an intumescent tape surrounding one or more of the insulated conductors, and a jacket. Each of the plurality of insulated conductors includes a conductor and an insulation layer. Data cables being fluoropolymer-free or halogen free are also described herein.

Abstract: The invention relates to semiconducting shield compositions for electric power cables having a base polymer system, nano-talc, and carbon black. The invention also relates to such semiconducting shield compositions and the use of these semiconducting shield compositions to manufacture semiconductive shields for use in electric cables, electric cables made from these compositions and methods of making electric cables from these semiconducting shield compositions. The semiconducting shield compositions of the invention may be used as strippable “semiconducting” dielectric shields (also referred to as the core shields, dielectric screen and core screen materials) in power cables with cross linked polymeric insulation, primarily with medium voltage cables having a voltage from about 5 kV up to about 100 kV, preferably up to about 35 kV.

Abstract: The invention provides an insulation composition for an electric cable containing a polyolefin, a permanent (non-migrating) antistatic agent, a phenolic antioxidant, and a peroxide. Preferably, the permanent antistatic agent is present at about 0.5-5 percent by weight of the total composition, preferably about 0.8-3 percent, and more preferably about 0.9-2.5 percent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to insulation compositions. In an object of the present invention, the compositions contain a fluoropolymer, a poly(arylene ether) and a styrene block copolymer. The compositions maintain substantially similar electrical properties and flame retardancy, and have reducing cost and density when compared to fluoropolymers alone.

Abstract: The molding defect known as “splay” is reduced in poly(arylene ether) injection molding compositions including specific amounts of poly(arylene ether), rubber-modified polystyrene, triaryl phosphate, and aryl phosphite. The molding compositions are particularly useful for injection molding articles with large, thin sections, such as battery cases for the back-up batteries used in wireless towers.
