Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a multilayer metal/organic polymer laminate structure which is suitable for use as a cable shielding or armoring tape. More particularly, the present invention relates to such a laminate structure wherein the metal is stainless steel.
  • the shielding tape of the "Alpeth” cable is formed of a layer of bare aluminum having a thickness of about 8 mils (0.2 mm) which is usually corrugated transversely prior to being wrapped about the cable core. The corrugations impart greater flexibility to the cable and permit bending of the cable without wrinkling or rupturing of the shielding tape.
  • shield, screen or shielding tape means a relatively thin layer of metal, bare or coated, which can provide mechanical protection and electrostatic and electromagnetic screening for the conductors in the core of electrical power or communication cables. Such a tape also provides suitable mechanical protection for optical fibers in a lightwave cable.
  • the outer jacket of such cables which is formed from a polymeric resinous material such as polyethylene, is susceptible to damage. Damage to the outer jacket may result from rigors of installation, rodents, lightning, frost or dig-ins following installation.
  • the shielding or armoring tapes are exposed to sub-surface water thereby creating a potential for corrosion, not only of the shielding or armoring tape but of the insulated conductors in the core of the cable.
  • the jacket of such cables is formed from a polymeric resinous material such as polyethylene
  • the jacket is not well adhered to the shielding or armoring tape of bare metal.
  • the outer plastic jacket is known to slip over the shielding or armoring tape and to fold up into shoulders as the cables are pulled through ducts or placed into trenches.
  • the shielding or armoring tape is also known to kink, curl or twist during installation causing metal fatigue in the tape and, in extreme cases, rupture of the tape because of mechanical bending stresses exerted thereon.
  • a special adhesive polyethylene coating may be applied to cover one or both sides of the metallic strip as taught in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,233,036 and 3,795,540.
  • Such shielding or armoring tapes are widely used in the manufacture of electrical power cables and communications cables.
  • the adhesive polyethylene used for this film contains reactive carboxyl groups which have the ability to develop firm adhesion to the metallic strip and also to the overlying polyethylene jacket.
  • the metal component of such shielding or armoring tapes provides electrostatic screening and mechanical strength to the cable.
  • the coating of polymeric resinous material e.g., an ethylene/acrylic acid (EAA) copolymer, provides bondability, sealability and corrosion protection to the metal component.
  • EAA ethylene/acrylic acid
  • the "Bonded Jacket” cable with a sealed seam has improved resistance to moisture penetration into the cable core.
  • This cable construction also has been shown to have the greater mechanical strength necessary to withstand repeated bending of the cable . In other words, this cable construction reduces occurrences of kinking and fatigue failures of the shielding or armoring tape which result from bending stresses during installation. Further, the effects of stresses induced by temperature cycles experienced by cables under service conditions are reduced.
  • the thin plastic coating protects the underlying metal to some degree from corrosion either by limiting the area over which such corrosion can occur or by preventing contact between the metal and sub--surface water.
  • the coating should be tightly bonded to the metal to resist significant delamination therefrom.
  • a tightly bonded coating reduces corrosion and formation of metal corrosion products by restricting the path of corrosive attack to exposed metal edges of the shielding or armoring tape.
  • rodents such as gophers
  • gophers will gnaw through copper and aluminum cable shielding or armoring tapes after breaching the outer jacket. They may also penetrate the insulated conductors in the core of a cable.
  • rodents generally cannot gnaw through a thickness of stainless steel in excess of about three mils (0.076 mm).
  • An apparently simple solution to the problem posed by rodents with respect to copper and aluminum cable shielding or armoring tapes would involve substituting stainless steel for copper or aluminum.
  • Cables particularly those which are buried, are expected to have a long service life. Penetration and subsequent corrosion of shielding or armoring tapes is a serious technical and financial problem for the wire and cable industry.
  • the present invention is a multilayer metal/organic polymer laminate structure which is suitable for use as a cable shielding or armoring tape.
  • the laminate structure has a stainless steel substrate layer.
  • the substrate layer has a first major planar surface and a second major planar surface.
  • the first and second major planar surfaces are generally parallel to each other.
  • the laminate structure also has a first chromium metal layer and a second chromium metal layer.
  • the first and second chromium metal layers are adhered, respectively, to the first and second major planar surfaces.of the substrate layer without the use of an intermediate adhesive layer.
  • the chromium metal layers have a minimum thickness and a maximum thickness. The minimum thickness is that which provides a generally continuous chromium metal layer. The maximum thickness is less than that which delaminates from the substrate layer when the laminate structure is flexed.
  • the laminate structure further has a first chromium oxide layer and a second chromium oxide layer.
  • the first and second chromium oxide layers are intimately adhered, respectively, to the first and second chromium metal layers without the use of an intermediate adhesive layer.
  • the chromium oxide layers have a thickness of from 0.25 to 5 milligrams of chromium metal as chromium oxide per square foot of chromium oxide layer surface area (2.69 to 53.76 mg/m 2 ).
  • At least one adhesive layer is adhered to the first chromium oxide layer, to the second chromium oxide layer, or to both chromium oxide layers.
  • the adhesive layers are adhered to the chromium oxide layers without an intermediate adhesive layer.
  • the present invention is a cable adapated for use in supplying electrical power b r communications.
  • the cable comprises (a) a core of at least one insulated conductor, (b) at least one shield surrounding the core, the shield comprising the multilayer metal/organic polymer laminate structure described hereinabove and (c) an outer plastic jacket.
  • the present invention is a cable adapted for use in a lightwave data transmission system.
  • the cable comprises (a) a core of at least one stranded unit tube and, optionally, at least one strength member, (b) a shield surrounding the core, the shield comprising the multilayer metal/organic polymer laminate structure described hereinabove and (c) an outer plastic jacket.
  • the present invention is a metal/plastic/metal laminate structure.
  • the structure comprises at least one multilayer metal/organic polymer laminate structure as described hereinabove and a second metallic substrate.
  • the second metallic substrate is adhered to the adhesive.polymer layer of the multilayer metal/organic polymer laminate structure without an intermediate adhesive layer.
  • the multilayer metal/organic polymer laminate structure when used as a shield, may be used either with or without being transversely corrugated. Irrespective of whether the laminate structure is corrugated, it is desirably overlapped longitudinally and bonded so as to form a sealed tube or pipe around a cable core.
  • “Stranded unit tube” designates a structure comprising a core of at least one linear strength member that is resistant to tension, at least one coated glass fiber suitable for transmitting visible light and a plastic jacket which surrounds the core and coated glass fibers.
  • the coated glass fibers are continuous and generally parallel to the strength member.
  • Adhesive layer means a layer of.polymeric resinous materials having good bonding characteristics to chromium/chromium oxide coated stainless steel, to a second adhesive layer, and to a non-adhesive polymer layer.
  • Figure 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of a cable shielding tape construction in accordance with the present invention.
