  • the present invention relates generally to a system that applies hydrophil ic coatings on wires in a quasi-continuous process. This allowing high-throughput manufacturing of respective devices. More specifically the invention concerns a system that applies hydrophilic coatings on sensing wires.

This system is used to manufacture sensing wires that are applied for monitoring of potential ly defect structures suffering from e.g. adverse moisture ingress.
  • thermoplastic coatings are appl ied on the respective wire-materials.
  • hydrophilic coatings are possible.
  • the present invention solves the problems of the related art by using a system whereby the wire is drawn through a vessel filled with the raw, aqueous coating material and which is dried afterwards by a hot airstream that is conducted by a ded icated pipe.
  • the present invention also provides a method of coating a wire with an outer insulation coating and an inner conductive coating between said wire and outer insulation coating, characterised in that the to be coated wire comprises an outer material made of hydrophilic textile and further characterized in that this wire is passed through a first coating vessel comprising an aqueous medium comprising a water-solution of a conductive coating material, followed by a respective drying unit, thereafter through a second coating vessel comprising an solution of a non-conductive polymer coating material and finally again though a drying unit.
