SCREEN FOR COMMUNICATIONS CABLES

摘要

Improved- electrical cable constructions, such as communication cables, is provided wherein a metallic screen is coated with a protective coating which comprises a layer of a polymer selected for its properties of high flexural modulus, high tensile strength and high melting point and an adhesive layer comprising a random, block or graft copolymer of an olefin and a polymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, acid anhydride or derivative. Optionally, the adhesive layer may comprise a blend of the copolymer and a polyolefin.
