Abstract

Abstract The disclosure of this application is directed to the production of silane modified copolymers of alkylene-alkyl acrylates by reacting a mixture containing a polysiloxane, particularly an organo titanate containing polysiloxane and a copolymer of alkylene-alkyl acrylate to produce a water curable, silane modified copolymer. The silane modified copolymers can be extruded about electrical conductors to provide insulation thereon characterized by improved surface characteristics.
