  • Polyolefin with phosphorylated novolac and triallyl cyanurate
    Patent number: 4085162
    Abstract: An electrical conductor insulated with flame-resistant polyolefin compositions comprising the combination of phosphorylated novolak-type phenol-formaldehyde condensate and triallyl cyanurate, and method of producing same.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 8, 1975
    Date of Patent: April 18, 1978
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Burton Thornley MacKenzie, Jr., Edward Vincent Wilkus
  • Method of compounding thermo-plastic polymeric materials and fillers and extruding onto electrical conductors
    Patent number: 4046849
    Abstract: A method of compounding thermoplastic polymeric material and fillers, including additives and agents, and unique compounded products. The compounding method comprises mixing the thermoplastic polymeric material in particulate form with particulate filler, and in progressive sequence melting the surface portion of the thermoplastic particles, blending the filler with said molten surface portion of the thermoplastic particles and removing the resultant blended melt and filler from the surface of the thermoplastic particles. The mixing and melting, and the blending and removing, are continued until the filler is substantially assimilated into the polymeric material and the thermoplastic particles become substantially diminished by melting and blending, or the method can be carried further if desired. The compounded product thus prepared is characterized by a distinctive stratified consistency.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 29, 1974
    Date of Patent: September 6, 1977
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Ray Clarence Lever, Edward Vincent Wilkus
  • Preparation of di-tertiary butyl peroxide crosslink polyolefin materials
    Patent number: 4006283
    Abstract: Method of applying liquid di-tertiary butyl peroxide as a curing agent to a crosslink curable polyolefin material. The method comprises adding the liquid curing agent to the polyolefin material in the form of finely divided discrete particles.
