Abstract
Plastic coated metal shielding tapes are becoming more and more prevalent in the wire and cable industry. When these tapes are bonded to a chlorinated polyethylene jacket, a moisture/chemical barrier sheath is created that can be utilized in cables for above, ground applications such as in cable trays, in conduit or for aerial use on messengers. These designs can also be used for direct burial and inside buildings. The physical properties of the shielding tapes, combined properties of the tape and jacket, and the properties of various cable designs are all discussed. Additionally, case histories are reviewed which describe the use of these cables in various industrial environments. Specifically, the development of such coated tapes and chlorinated polyethylene jackets provides wire and cable users with additional sheath designs which can be used to reduce expensive maintenance and extend cable service life.
