Multiphase Polymeric Composition Useful for Preparing Cable Insulation

摘要

Cable insulation layers having excellent mechanical and electrical properties are prepared from a composite free of plasticizer and comprising a heterogeneous, polymeric composition comprising (A) a polypropylene matrix, and (B) a propylene copolymer dispersed within the matrix and (i) comprising more than 80 weight percent (wt %) of units derived from propylene, and (ii) having a weight average particle size of less of than 1 micron (μm). The insulation layer is not only environmental friendly due to the lack of placticizer, but it also maintains its physical and operational integrity at temperatures of at least 90° C.
