28. A tubular article in an expanded state having an outer surface, the tubular article comprising:
-
a mixture comprising a terpolymer of an ethylene-propylene-diene monomer, a flame retardant, an antimicrobial agent, a pigment, and an energy beam absorber; and
focused energy beam-induced indicia located on the outer surface, wherein the tubular article is capable of being placed in a relaxed state, and wherein the indicia is legible to an unaided eye of an individual with 20/20 vision located at least about 32 centimeters away from the indicia when the tubular article is in the expanded state and when the tubular article is in the relaxed state. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)
