Abstract
Abstract Electric cables insulated with a cured polyolefin and having high electrical breakdown strength are produced, in each instance, by applying, an insulating layer of polyolefin containing a curing agent onto a conductor by means of an extruder, forming and hot-curing said layer by means of a long-land die, simultaneously applying a specific forming coagent to a tapered portion of the long-land die, and cooling the resulting hot-cured insulating layer formed on the conductor in a cooling zone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
223 words
In a process for producing large-sized thickwalled insulating electric cable including cable of ultra-high voltage rating of 154KV to 275KV comprising the steps of feeding an electric conductor continuously through an extruder head and a long land die having a length of from about 1 meter to 50 meters or more coupled thereto on the downstream side of the extruder head, extruding a polyolefin composition containing a curing agent onto the electric conductor with a liquid forming coagent having a viscosity of 0.5 to 3000 centistokes at 235° C., said forming coagent being simultaneously introduced onto the inner surface of the die, hot-curing the polyolefin layer thus formed on the conductor in the die, and cooling the polyolefin layer thus cured with pressurized cooling fluid, the improvement wherein said forming coagent is applied to the outer surface of the polyolefin layer by continuously supplying the coagent into a converging tapered portion provided in said die on the downstream side of said extruder head and on the upstream side of the long land portion of the die having a constant inner diameter, and the forming coagent being supplied to the tapered portion at a position defined by the range of from about 10mm downstream from the upstream end of the tapered portion to about 2mm upstream from the downstream end of the tapered portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
88 words
A process as set forth in claim 1 wherein said forming coagent is of a kind having a viscosity of 0.5 to 3,000 centistokes at 235° C,and an absorption ratio to the polyolefin composition containing a curing agent of not more than 100 mg/cm 2 at 150° C when it is brought into contact therewith for a period of 45 hours, being free from gelation when in contact with an organic peroxide in the curable polyolefin composition and not being boiled during curing of the curable polymeric material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A process as set forth in claim 1 wherein said polyolefin is a polyethylene.
