PULVERBLANDNING FOR ANVENDNING SIN VATTENBLOCKERANDE FYLLNADSMEDEL, SERSKILT TILL ELEKTRISK KABEL

摘要

An electric cable having a multi-stranded core of insulated conductors and a jacket, in which the spaces between and around the conductors are at least partially filled with a mixture which forms a blockage to the penetration of water. The mixture comprises water repellant treated calcium carbonate and high molecular weight polyacrylamide resin which do not react with each other or when in contact with water. Preferably the individual conductors are coated with a hydrophobic liquid such as a low viscosity paraffinic oil.
