Foamed-polyolefin-insulated wire
First Claim
1. An insulated wire comprising a conductor having a diameter of 1 mm or less and a foamed-polyolefin insulation layer of 2 mm or less in thickness, the insulation layer having:
- (a) an equivalent dielectric constant of less than 1.45, and (b) a sidewall-pressure deformation not exceeding 20% wherein the polyolefin is made of a mixture consisting of a partial metallic salt of a copolymer and polypropylene at a weight ratio in the range of 20;
80 to 80;
20, inclusive, the copolymer including a comonomer containing a substance selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid and a carboxylic anhydric group.

Abstract
An insulated wire including a conductor having a diameter of 1 mm or less and a foamed-polyolefin insulation layer of 2 mm or less in thickness, the insulation layer having an equivalent dielectric constant of less than 1.45 and a sidewall-pressure deformation of 20% or less. The polyolefin used is made of a mixture having an ionomer/polypropylene weight ratio between 20:80 and 80:20. The insulated wire may have, in addition to the foamed insulation layer, an outer solid insulation layer mainly consisting of polyolefin other than that used as the foamed insulation layer. In addition the insulated wire may have an inner solid insulation layer including polyethylene or acid-denaturated polyethylene.
