An improved process and apparatus for making electric cable is disclosed that will result in electric cable with improved burn resistant characteristics. The improved process and apparatus consists of a first yarn wrapping portion, an impregnating section, a drying section, a coating section, a second drying section, and a coiling section for returning the wire to a reel. This process wraps a glass fiber yarn about an electric wire and then impregnates this yarn with a silicone mixture. The impregnated yarn is then dried and sent to a second coating chamber where an additional silicone mixture is coated about the outer periphery of the yarn. The wire goes into a second drying section and then goes on to the coiling section. In a second embodiment of this invention silicone tape is used to wrap around the electric wire than than the glass fiber yarn.
