A signal transmission fuse is made of a tube (36) which encases a support tape (14) having a reactive coating (18') 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 (14) a reactive paint (18) including a binder, which paint dries to form a reactive coating (18'). The coated support tape (14') is then folded, i.e., formed into a channel configuration, to provide an inner concave side of the tape on which the reactive coating (18') has been disposed. The coated support tape is then enclosed, e.g., within an extruded plastic tube (36). One side of the support tape may be made of a first material (14a) to which the reactive coating adheres, and a second side may be made of a second material (14b) which bonds or adheres to the inner surface (36a) of the plastic tube (36) enclosing the coated support tape (14'). The binder causes even high loadings of the reactive coating (18') to adhere to the coated support tape (14') to prevent reactive material migration. The support tape also shields the reactive material from the hot, freshly extruded surrounding plastic tube (36) during manufacture.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A signal transmission fuse comprising:a tube having a longitudinal axis, a tube wall defining a tube outer surface and a tube inner surface, the tube inner surface defining a bore extending through the tube; anda support tape having a first side and an opposite second side, the first side having thereon a reactive coating comprising a reactive material and a binder, the binder being present in the reactive coating in an amount by weight less than the weight of the reactive material but sufficient to cause the reactive coating to adhere to the first side of the support tape more strongly than it would if the binder were absent;wherein the support tape is disposed within and extends along the bore of the tube with the second side of the support tape facing the tube inner surface, and an open portion of the bore extending through the tube adjacent to the reactive coating.
