HIGH STRETCH ELASTOMERIC PRE-STRECHTED TUBES

摘要

Elastomeric, low modulus pre-stretched tubular articles supported by removable cores. Embodiments of the articles include those useful for insulators on power cables, and for dielectric stress control of cable splices and terminations. A conductive article is useful for shielding high voltage cables. The articles have low Shore A hardness values and low moduli which allow large expansion ratios and increased wall thicknesses when compared to conventional pre-stretched tubes.
