Abstract
Abstract Polyolefin resin has combined therewith, in a widely dispersed manner, discrete fine particles of a material which is readily soluble in a capacitor dielectric liquid impregnant. A capacitor grade dielectric film made from this resin includes the noted particles dispersed therein, so that when the film is impregnated, in a capacitor modification, the fine particles dissolve to pass the dielectric liquid impregnant throughout the film.

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
The invention as recited in claim 5 wherein said polymer particles are of an average diameter which is less than about one-half the thickness of said film and the maximum diameter is less than the thickness of said film.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
92 words
In an electrical capacitor utilizing polypropylene film as a dielectric, and subject to impregnation with a liquid hydrocarbon impregnant, the improvement of a. the said polypropylene having widely dispersed therein between 0.5 and 30 percent by volume of a further polymer in discrete fine particle form b. the average diameter of said particles being less than the thickness of said film c. the fine particles being readily soluble in said liquid hydrocarbon during impregnation of said capacitor d. the said particles having a softening temperature greater than that of said polypropylene film.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
