Abstract
Abstract Electric cables of the type known as composite electrical insulated cables are insulated with a first inner layer of insulation material such as polyolefin and second outer layer of an irradiated cross-linked co-polymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene known in the trade as FEP to form a superior high temperature cable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
A structural article comprising a first layer consisting a polyolefin and a second layer consisting of a co-polymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene, each of said layers being irradiated and thereby crOss-linked throughout and each of said layers being irradiated and thereby cross-linked at least to an extent that when heated above its respective crystalline melting temperature it has form stability.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
14 words
The structural article of claim 2 wherein said polyolefin is polyethylene or its copolymers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
An electric cable comprising at least one conductor, a plurality of layers of insulation surrounding said conductor, one of said layers comprising an extruded cross-linked polyolefin intimately in contact with said electric conductor and a sheath surrounding said cross-linked polyolefin material and in intimate contact with said cross-linked polyolefin, said sheath comprising an irradiated cross-linked co-polymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
78 words
The method of forming an electrically insulated current carrying body comprising selecting electrical current carrying bodies whose lengths are substantially greater than their widths, forming a polyolefin layer over substantially the entire length of one of said electrical current carrying bodies, irradiating and thereby cross-linking said cross-linked polyolefin, coating said polyolefin layer with a co-polymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene and, irradiating and thereby cross-linking said co-polymer, said cross-linking being accomplished above the glass transition temperature of the co-polymer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 5 wherein said irradiation comprises high energy electrons sufficient to penetrate said co-polymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 6 wherein the irradiation is accomplished at temperatures above the internal friction temperature of the co-polymer.
