Patent ID: 7744950

Claim:
A process for producing a cable provided with at least one thermoplastic coating comprising: providing at least one thermoplastic polymer and at least one dielectric liquid; feeding said at least one thermoplastic polymer into at least one extruder; conveying said at least one thermoplastic polymer through said at least one extruder; plasticizing said at least one thermoplastic polymer traveling through said at least one extruder; adding said at least one dielectric liquid to said at least one thermoplastic polymer in a zone of said at least one extruder, wherein said at least one thermoplastic polymer is in a molten state, to form a thermoplastic material, wherein said at least one dielectric liquid is distributed substantially uniformly within said at least one thermoplastic polymer; passing said thermoplastic material through at least one static mixer; and extruding said thermoplastic material around a conductor so as to obtain a layer of thermoplastic coating on said conductor.
