<p>PROCESS FOR CONTINUOUSLY PRODUCING A POLYMERIC LAMINATE TAPE HAVING A PLURALITY OF METAL WIRES EMBEDDED THEREWITHIN A metal wire-containing polymeric laminate tape is continuously produced by superimposing a pair of primary cross-linked, electro-insulating thermoplastic polymer tapes side by side along the longitudinal axes thereof under tension, while a plurality of metal wires are interposed, under tension, in parallel to each other, between the primary tapes along the longitudinal axes thereof; by heating the resultant precursory laminate tape up to a temperature of from 10 to 120.degree.C above the melting point of the corresponding thermoplastic polymer, which is not cross-linked; by pressing the heated precursory laminate tape by using a pair of elastic pressing rolls, whereby the primary tapes are heat-bonded together to provide a body of laminate matrix within which the metal wires are embedded, and, optionally, by cooling the resultant laminate tape.</p> |
