          Application 08/312,493                                                      




                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               Appellants claim an insulating enameling lacquer for use               
          in making enameled conductors, comprised of a blend of two                  
          recited polymers and a compatibilizing copolymer.  Appellants               
          also claim a process for making the lacquer, and claim an                   
          enameled wire comprising an external layer of an enamel                     
          obtained by reticulation of the lacquer.  Claim 1, which is                 
          directed toward the lacquer composition, is illustrative and                
          reads as follows:                                                           
               1.  An insulating enameling lacquer for enameled                       
          conductors comprising a polymer blend of a base first polymer,              
          a second polymer and a copolymer, wherein:                                  
               the base first polymer is selected from the group                      
          consisting of:                                                              
               polyurethane, polyamide, polyamide imide, polyester,                   
                    polyester imide, polyester amide-imide, polyamide,                
                    acetal of polyvinyl alcohol, polyepoxy compounds and              
                    polyphenoxy compounds;                                            
               the second polymer is selected from the group consisting               
          of polysiloxanes;                                                           
               said second polymer is present in the blend in a                       
               quantity of at least 0.3% but less than 30% by weight;                 
          and                                                                         


                                          2
