  • COLORED WIRE OR CABLE AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLORING WIRE OR CABLE
    Publication number: 20200203039
    Abstract: A process for coloring post-production cables or coloring cables in an in-line manufacturing process can include coloring a polymer coated conductive cable or wire using a colorant solution. In one example, the wire can be passed through a trough, bath or spray of the colorant solution. In one example, the colorant can have a transparent characteristic to it in order to allow the printing on the cable to show through the colorant applied to the cable.

  • POLYMER FORMULATIONS FOR USE IN CABLE JACKETING AND INSULATION
    Publication number: 20150155072
    Abstract: Polymer formulations that are flame resistant and contain particulate biorenewable material can be used as cable insulation and jacket layers. The polymer formulations can include a polyolefin resin, a flame retardant, and a particulate biorenewable material. The polymer formulation can be coated as a cover layer onto a core to form a cable.
