Abstract

An insulative coating composition for providing water-repellancy to and protecting communication wire comprises an admixture of an anhydride copolymer, a flexibilizing copolymer, a suitable solvent system, a hydrophobic, soluble, compatible fluoroaliphatic radical-containing composition and optionally, a mercaptan, and optionally, an antioxidant. Articles coated with the insulative composition are disclosed.
