    摘要: The present invention relates to a crosslinkable polyolefin composition for wire and cable applications, and particularly for low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) cables, to a cable comprising said compositions and to the use of said compositions for increasing the tensile strength and/or flexibility of a cable. The crosslinkable polyolefin composition of the invention comprises (a) 50 to 99 wt. %, based on the total polyolefin composition, of one or more ethylene copolymer(s) containing monomer units with polar groups and monomer units with hydrolysable silane groups, wherein the monomer units with polar groups are present in an amount of from 1 to 25 mol. % based on the total polyolefin composition, and (b) 1 to 50 wt. %, based on the total polyolefin composition, of a copolymer of ethylene and a C3 to C8 alpha-olefin co-monomer having a density of from 850 to 970 kg/m3 and a MFR2.16 of from 0.1 to 50 g/10 min. determined according to ISO 1133 at a temperature of 190° C. and a load of 2.16 kg. A cable comprising such a crosslinkable polyolefin composition and its use for increasing the tensile strength and/or flexibility of a cable are disclosed as well.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a polyolefin composition comprising a cross-linkable polyolefin with hydrolysable silane groups, an acidic silanol condensation catalyst, wherein the acidic silanol condensation catalyst is present in an amount of 0.0001 to 3 wt. % of the polyolefin composition, at least one UV stabilizer selected from the group consisting of phenols, benzophenones and/or combinations thereof, wherein component (C) is present in an amount of 0.0001 to 0.35 wt. % of the polyolefin composition, and/or at least one UV stabilizer selected from triazines, wherein component (D) is present in an amount of 0.0001 to 2.0 wt. % of the polyolefin composition. The present invention also relates to an article comprising such a composition, and to the use of such a composition for the production of an article.
