Abstract
A cable filler composition comprises a mixture of mineral oil, a styrene-ethylene butylene-stryene block copolymer, and about 2-6 percent by weight of a thermoplastic polymer comprising an isotactic, crystalline polypropylene copolymer containing 0.1-4% by weight of an olefinic comonomer, the copolymer having a molecular weight of between 20,000 and 40,000.
Claims5
In a cable filling composition for use in waterproofing electrical cables wherein a thermoplastic polymer is admixed with a styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene block copolymer and mineral oil in an amount of 87-91 percent by weight of said composition, the improvement wherein said thermoplastic polymer comprises an isotactic, crystalline polypropylene copolymer containing 0.1-4% by weight of an olefinic comonomer, said copolymer having an average molecular weight of between 20,000 and 40,000.
