Claims31
A covering comprising a thermoplastic composition wherein the thermoplastic composition comprises:
- (i) a poly(arylene ether);
- (ii) a polyolefin;
- and
- (iii) a polymeric compatibilizer,
- and further wherein an electrical wire comprising the covering disposed over a conductor has less than or equal to 5 spark leaks for 2,500 to 15,500 meters of wire.
A covering comprising a thermoplastic composition wherein the thermoplastic composition comprises:
- (i) a poly(arylene ether);
- (ii) a polyolefin;
- and
- (iii) a polymeric compatibilizer,
- wherein the thermoplastic composition is substantially free of visible particulate impurities.
A covering for a conductor wherein the covering comprises a thermoplastic composition produced by a method comprising:
- melt mixing a poly(arylene ether), a polyolefin, and a polymeric compatibilizer to form a mixture;
- melt filtering the mixture through a filter.
A covering for a conductor wherein the covering comprises a thermoplastic composition produced by a method comprising:
- melt mixing a poly(arylene ether), a polyolefin, and a polymeric compatibilizer to form a first mixture;
- melt filtering the first mixture through a first filter;
- melt filtering the first filtered mixture through a second filter to form a second filtered mixture.
