An insulating coating of extruded polymer material is formed around a moving conductor wire; the extruder includes a decompression zone effective to arrest shear degradation of the polymer such that the melt index of the insulating polymer on the insulated wire is not more than 50% of the melt index of the solid, particulate polymer material before extrusion; the extruder includes valve means and intense mixing means which ensure that the polymer melts in a controlled manner whereby a uniform extrudate is formed.
