Pressureless cure system for chemically cross-linking ethylene containing polymers, to form an insulated conductor
| Details |
Inventors: MacKenzie, Jr., Burton Thornley;
Assignee: General Electric Company (New York, NY)
Primary Examiner: White; Robert F.
Assistant Examiner: Auville; Gene
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Simkins; Raymond G., Schlamp; Philip L., Neuhauser; Frank L.
A curable composition comprising an ethylene-containing polymer, a curing agent, and a mineral filler treated with tetramethyltetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane, is compounded and fabricated to the desired shape, such as an insulation layer over a conductor. The fabricated product is then passed through a non-aqueous heat transfer medium maintained at about atmospheric pressure and at a temperature sufficient to effect curing in situ of the ethylene-containing polymer. The resulting cured composition is characterized as relatively dense (substantially non-porous) especially suitable for use as insulation for wire and cable. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1.
A method of making an electric cable having a cured relatively dense and substantially non-porous insulating composition about a conductor comprising ethylene containing polymer and mineral filler cured at substantially atmospheric pressure, comprising the steps of: treating a mineral filler with tetramethyltetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane by admixing said mineral filler with about 0.
15 to 4.
0 percent of tetramethyltetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane by weight of the filler, and preparing the insulating composition by admixing the ingredients comprising an ethylene containing polymer, said mineral filler and treating tetramethyltetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane, and curing agent; forming the insulation of admixed composition about a conductor; and thereafter heating the said formed insulation of the admixed composition at about atmospheric pressure in a non-aqueous heat transfer medium to a temperature and for a dwell time sufficient to effect an in situ cross-linking cure of the ethylene containing polymer to a relatively dense and substantially non-porous insulation of filled polymeric composition.
2.
A method of making an electrical cable having a cured substantially non-porous insulating composition about a conductor comprising ethylene containing polymer and mineral filler cured at substantially atmospheric pressure, comprising the steps of: treating a mineral filler selected from the group consisting of aluminum silicate, aluminum oxide, calcium silicate, silica, magnesium silicate, titanium dioxide, and mixtures thereof, with tetramethyltetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane by admixing said mineral filler with about 0.
15 to 4.
0 percent of tetramethyltetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane by weight of the filler, and preparing the insulating composition by admixing the ingredients comprising an ethylene containing polymer with at least about 50 mole percent ethylene selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, copolymers of ethylene and propylene, and copolymers of ethylene and vinyl acetate, and mixtures thereof with about 25 to 60 percent by weight of the composition of said mineral filler treated with tetramethyltetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane and about 0
