Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A curable semiconductive polymeric compound for patching voids in a body of a semiconductive component of an insulated electrical cable, consisting essentially of the combination of polymeric material, conductive filler material and lauroyl peroxide in amount of about 2 to about 8 parts by weight of the polymeric material, said polymeric material being composed of at least about 65% by weight of chlorosulfonated polyethylene and 0 to about 35% by weight of ethylene-propylene rubber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
74 words
A curable semiconductive polymeric compound for patching voids in a body of a semiconductive component of an insulated electrical cable, consisting essentially of the combination of polymeric material, conductive filler material and lauroyl peroxide in amount of about 2 to about 8 parts by weight of the polymeric material, said polymeric material being composed of at least about 65% by weight of chlorosulfonated polyethylene and 0 to about 35% by weight of ethylene-propylene rubber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
The cured product of the semiconductive polymeric compound of claim 1.
