Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0222507A1] Electrical conductors which are insulated by an inner polymeric layer having little or no cross-linking and high elongation, and an outer polymeric layer having a relatively high level of cross-linking and low elongation. Preferably each of the components comprises a crystalline fluorocarbon polymer, especially an ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer. Such articles can be prepared by (1) melt-extruding a first polymeric composition which contains little or no cross-linking agent, and a second polymeric composition which contains a greater amount of cross-linking agent, (2) maintaining the two extrudates under conditions such that cross-linking agent migrates from the second to the first composition, and (3) cross-linking both compositions, preferably by radiation.
