A curable composition comprises a blocked isocyanate compound (PhI) having a plurality of isocyanate groups each protected by phenols (Ph), and an epoxy compound (E) having a plurality of epoxy groups. The curable composition does not contain an isocyanate scavenger which may react with the isocyanate groups nor an epoxy scavenger which may react with the epoxy groups.

A cable including a plurality of internal insulated cores, each of which is formed by covering a conductor including a twisted wire with an insulator. The insulators have a tensile elastic modulus higher than that of a vinyl chloride resin for an electric wire and has a friction coefficient lower than that of the vinyl chloride resin for an electric wire. The cable may be a cab tire cable or a cab tire cord of a home appliance, a standard charger, or an on-board charger, for example, and is able to withstand long use without buckling breakage of the conductors.

A communications cable is provided that includes a pair of twisted pair of wires, each coated with a fluoropolymer insulator. The twisted pair of wires is configured to carry a differential signal, such as a differential data signal and/or a differential power signal. The fluoropolymers are highly effective insulators and significantly reduce both the effects of internal and external electromagnetic interference while maintaining low cable attenuation, even when operating within a temperature range of-40° C. to 150° C.

A wire harness includes a multi-core cable including a group of cables composed of a plurality of cables, and a sheath provided around the group of cables, and a resin mold covering the group of cables at a cable branching portion where the group of cables exposed from an end of the sheath of the multi-core cable are branched. An outermost layer of each cable constituting the group of cables includes polyolefin or thermoplastic polyurethane. When the sheath includes polyolefins, the group of cables includes at least one cable including an outermost layer including thermoplastic polyurethane. When the sheath includes thermoplastic polyurethane, the group of cables includes at least one cable having an outermost layer comprising polyolefin. The resin mold includes a resin composition of a polymer alloy of a first polymer including at least one of polyamide polymer, polyester polymer, and thermoplastic polyurethane and a second polymer including polyolefin.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising at least one thermoplastic polyurethane, a first phosphorus-containing flame retardant (F1) selected from the group consisting of melamine polyphosphates and a further phosphorus-containing flame retardant (F2) selected from the group consisting of derivatives of phosphinic acid, wherein the composition is free from melamine cyanurate, and to the use of such a composition for the production of cable sheathings.

There is provided a laminate having excellent partial discharge resistance. A laminate of a conductor and an insulating coating comprising a conductor and an insulating coating formed on the conductor, wherein the insulating coating is formed of a resin composition containing a metal oxide hydrate, and an inorganic insulating layer is formed on the insulating coating when the laminate is exposed to partial discharge caused by inverter surges.

Cables having a conductor with a polymeric covering layer and a non-extruded coating layer made of a material based on a liquid composition including a polymer resin and a fatty acid amide. Methods of making cables are also provided.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one thermoplastic polyurethane TPU-1 based on an aliphatic diisocyanate, a thermoplastic polyurethane TPU-2 based on an aromatic diisocyanate, a melamine cyanurate, a first phosphorus-containing flame retardant (F1) selected from the group consisting of derivatives of phosphoric acid and derivatives of phosphonic acid and a further phosphorus-containing flame retardant (F2) selected from the group consisting of derivatives of phosphinic acid. The present invention further relates to the use of such compositions for production of cable sheaths.

The present invention discloses a preparation method of an insulating dielectric for improving energy density, including dissolving 1,4-phenylene diisothiocyanate in a polar solvent, then adding an organic diamine, and reacting at room temperature for 3 h to 6 h under a nitrogen atmosphere; then adding 4,4′-oxydianiline and pyromellitic dianhydride, and reacting at room temperature for 12 h to 18 h under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a random copolymer solution of polythiourea and polyamic acid; and spreading the random copolymer solution of polythiourea and polyamic acid on a copper plate, and carrying out gradient temperature elevation to obtain a random copolymer of polythiourea and polyimide.
