Abstract
Abstract A means of obtaining improved adhesion of the jacket to the metal sheath of an electrical conductor involving the use of a dual layer film as the material for adhering the two to each other is disclosed. The dual layer film contains a film layer of an ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer or an ethylene/methacrylic acid copolymer or the ionomer salts thereof and a film layer of polyethylene or an ethylene/acrylyl ester copolymer or an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer.
