Abstract: A recoverable tubular article comprising an elastomeric sleeve held in an expanded or extended condition and capable of recovering to its unexpanded condition of smaller diameter upon the removal of an outer restraint, an outer restraint, essentially tubular in configuration, bonded to said elastomeric sleeve, said restraint and said bond between the sleeve and the restraint being sufficiently strong to retain the elastomeric sleeve in its expanded condition under ordinary conditions of storage and said restraint being capable of being segmented and peeled from said elastomeric sleeve to permit said sleeve to recover to its original state.

Abstract: A flame retardant composition formed by blending both low density polyethylene and high density polyethylene with a plurality of fire retardant additives comprising 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,10,11,11-dodecachloro-1,4,4a,5a,6,9,9a,9b-octahydro-1,4 ,6,9,dimethanodibenzofuran and 5-(tetrabromophenyl)-1,2,3,4,7,7,-hexachloronorbornene. The composition may contain antimony compounds as well as other conventional additives. By employing such compositions as insulation coatings for high voltage electrical wire or cable outstanding improvements are achieved in meeting stringent flammability and high voltage cut-through specifications.
