Abstract
Abstract Cured insulation compositions are rendered freely strippable from the encased conductors through the use of small amounts of (a) a dialkyl tin diester, (b) N,N'-ethylene bis-stearamide or similar waxy composition, and (c) certain 3-amido-1,2,4-triazoles.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
Composition useful in freely strippable insulation for cables and the like comprising (1) N,N' ethylene bis-stearamide, (2) a dialkyl tin diester, (3) a 3-amido-1,2,4-triazole of the formula ##STR6## wherein: a. Z 1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl having from one to 18 carbon atoms; alkylenealkoxy and alkylenearyloxy having from two to 18 carbon atoms; phenyl; pyridyl; ##STR7## in which A is alkylene having from one to eight carbon atoms or vinylene; b. X is selected from the group consisting of oxygen and sulfur; c. Z 2 is a benzene or naphthalene ring substituted by from one to two R 1 groups and from zero to two R 2 groups; i. R 1 is selected from the group consisting of OH, SH and SC 2 H 4 COOCH 3; and ii. R 2 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkyl phenyl, alkoxy and alkyl phenoxy, each having from one to 18 carbon atoms; phenyl, phenoxy and halogen; in ratios by weight of (1):(2):(3) of about 5-20:0.5-2:5-20.
