COMPOSITION FOR REPAIRING ELASTIC CABLE JACKET

摘要

A curable composition especially adapted for the repair of damaged elastomeric cable jacket materials comprises reactive isocyanate and polyol components in defined concentrations which exhibits electrical and physical properties comparable to the jacket material and has excellent adhesion thereto. Initially the composition can be a liquid having sufficiently low viscosity permitting it to be poured in a mold around the damaged cable jacket, or it can be thickened to a self-supporting grease-like consistency. After curing in contact with a neoprene-based elastomer, the composition exhibits an adhesion thereto of at least about 7.0 pounds per inch.
