Abstract: Crosslinkable ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resins are rendered amenable to forming adherent laminates with crosslinkable silicone rubber by coating the surface of the ethylene-vinyl acetate resin with a solution of a silane or a member of the class of compounds known as polyfunctional monomers prior to adhering the resin to the silicone rubber.

Abstract: A cable core and method of forming such core is provided including a conductor having an extruded dielectric of an insulating material selected from the group of insulating materials consisting of rubber and plastics materials, a dielectric screen comprising a layer of conductive or semi-conductive material selected from the group consisting of conductive and semi-conductive rubber and plastics materials and, interposed between and bonded to the extruded dielectric and the dielectric screen throughout substantially the whole length of the core, an intermediate layer having at least in a circumferentially continuous zone of the layer a cohesive strength substantially less than the cohesive strengths of the extruded dielectric and the dielectric screen and substantially less than the strengths of the bonds between the intermediate layer and the dielectric screen such that when stripping the dielectric screen from the core over a part of its length for jointing or terminating purposes separation takes place with

Abstract: A self-bonding magnet wire comprising a conductor with a coating thereon, said coating comprising 65 to 95 parts by weight of a copolyamide containing 10 to 50 weight percent .omega.-laurolactam, 35 to 5 parts by weight of a copolyamide containing 70 to 90 weight percent of .omega.-laurolactam, and 5 to 25 parts by weight of a thermoplastic linear polyhydroxypolyetherester resin and process of manufacturing same.

Abstract: An insulated wire suitable as a magnet wire having a baked layer of a specific polyacryl resin as an under-layer and a baked layer of a specific polyester resin as an upper-layer on the conductor as well as a process for producing the insulated wire are disclosed. The insulated wire according to the present invention exhibits well-balanced overall properties necessary for use as a magnet wire and has an excellent heat resistance.

Abstract: Magnet wire bearing a poly(ethylene trimellitate imide) varnish coating which is capable of forming a unitary structure after producing a fabricated article from the coated wire where the poly(ethylene trimellitate imide) cures on heating or application of electrical current.

Abstract: A metallic substrate, such illustratively as wire, to which is bonded by means of a resinous hot melt adhesive and in a continuous operation a thermoplastic resinous coating. The method of making the coated metallic substrate comprises applying a resinous hot melt adhesive about the metallic substrate and thereafter extruding a molten thermoplastic resin onto the deposited adhesive at high rates of speed.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing high voltage carrying electric power cable having a conductor insulated with a multilayered covering, and the cable product thereof. The cable construction includes a primary or dielectric insulating body of thermoset ethylene-propylene rubber and a thermoset jacket about the conductor, which is substantially free of corona-prone or ionization-prone voids and separations intermediate the layers. The method comprises forming and curing the ethylene-propylene rubber compound constituting the body of the primary or dielectric insulation around the conductor and then heat treating the thermoset-cured ethylene-propylene rubber insulation prior to applying subsequent components of the multilayered covering about the condutor, including an overlying semiconductive shielding layer and a protective enclosing jacket of heat-cured thermoset polymer.
