A method of making a weatherstripping product for attachment on an automotive vehicle or for other weatherstripping applications, said method comprising the steps of: forming a support member of a predetermined configuration, extruding an elastomeric weatherstrip, treating a surface of the elastomeric weatherstrip with an abundance of ultraviolet radiation from a UV source to thereby provide a UV treated surface on the weatherstrip, applying a low friction surface coating to the UV treated surface on the weatherstrip to provide a coated elastomeric weatherstrip, mounting the coated elastomeric weatherstrip on said support member, to thereby provide a weatherstripping product with markedly improved anti-squeak and ice release characteristics; and the weatherstripping product prepared from this material.

Method for making a weatherstrip

An ignition cable having a layer of semi-conductive cross-linkable polyolefin extruded over a nonmetallic strength member to form a conductive core. An insulating layer is extruded over the conductive core and overlaid with a braid of glass yarn. A final layer of insulating material is applied over the braid of glass yarn to provide an external jacket. In an alternate embodiment, the braid of glass yarn is omitted.
