Abstract
A signal transmission fuse is made of a tube ( ) which encases a support tape ( ) having a reactive coating ( ′) which is adhered to one side of the tape by a binder. A method of making the signal transmission fuse includes depositing on the support tape ( ) a reactive paint ( ) including a binder, which paint dries to form a reactive coating ( ′). The coated support tape ( ′) is then folded, i.e., formed into a channel configuration, to provide an inner concave side of the tape on which the reactive coating ( ′) has been disposed. The coated support tape is then enclosed, e.g., within an extruded plastic tube ( ). One side of the support tape may be made of a first material ( ) to which the reactive coating adheres, and a second side may be made of a second material ( ) which bonds or adheres to the inner surface ( ) of the plastic tube ( ) enclosing the coated support tape ( ′). The binder causes even high loadings of the reactive coating ( ′) to adhere to the coated support tape ( ′) to prevent reactive material migration. The support tape also shields the reactive material from the hot, freshly extruded surrounding plastic tube ( ) during manufacture.
