Abstract
A process for forming ignition cable core and a product of the process are described wherein multiple strength filaments are individually coated with an electrically conductive, curable elastomeric material, a common overcoating surrounding the mixture, then cabled together and again coated with the individually coated strength filaments in order to form the core for an ignition cable which is characterized by improved resistance to separation between the filament and conductive coating, for example, when the ignition cable core is stripped for electrical termination.
Claims22
In a process for applying a conductive coating to an ignition cable core including a plurality of individual strength filaments, the steps comprising forming an individual coating respectively surrounding each of the individual strength filaments and forming a common overcoating for a plurality of the individually coated filaments, the individual coatings and the common overcoating being applied as a curable elastomeric material which is cross-linked to form the individual coatings and common overcoating, the resulting coating for the ignition cable core being characterized by increased resistance to separation of the individual strength filaments from the coating.
