Abstract
Abstract A resinous composition useful for impregnating flexible electrical winding tape is made by mixing: (a) 100 parts of polybutadiene, (b) about 0.25 part to about 25 parts of a solid, organic, aromatic, vinyl monomer coreactive with polybutadiene, (c) a solvent for the polybutadiene and (d) an effective amount of organic reaction catalyst.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A void free high voltage capability electrical pre-preg winding insulation tape, comprising mica, and a contacting polymerizable resinous composition consisting essentially of a homogeneous, substantially unreacted mixture of polybutadiene consisting of from about 20 weight percent to about 98 weight percent of 1,2-polybutadiene and from about 2 weight percent to about 80 weight percent of 1,4-polybutadiene; about 0.25 part to about 25 parts per 100 parts of total polybutadiene of a solid vinyl monomer coreactive with polybutadiene selected from the group consisting of vinyl carbazole, 1-vinyl naphthalene, 2-vinyl naphthalene, vinyl anthracene, N-vinyl phthalimide and mixtures thereof; up to about 5 weight percent of solvent for the polybutadiene and an amount of an organic reaction catalyst effective to cure the resinous mixture, at resin composition temperatures of at least about 130° C., said pre-preg being dry and highly flexible, having a shelf life of at least 6 months.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A void free high voltage capability electrical pre-preg winding insulation tape, comprising mica, and a contacting polymerizable resinous composition consisting essentially of a homogeneous, substantially unreacted mixture of polybutadiene consisting of from about 20 weight percent to about 98 weight percent of 1,2-polybutadiene and from about 2 weight percent to about 80 weight percent of 1,4-polybutadiene; about 0.25 part to about 25 parts per 100 parts of total polybutadiene of a solid vinyl monomer coreactive with polybutadiene selected from the group consisting of vinyl carbazole, 1-vinyl naphthalene, 2-vinyl naphthalene, vinyl anthracene, N-vinyl phthalimide and mixtures thereof; up to about 5 weight percent of solvent for the polybutadiene and an amount of an organic reaction catalyst effective to cure the resinous mixture, at resin composition temperatures of at least about 130° C., said pre-preg being dry and highly flexible, having a shelf life of at least 6 months.
