CROSSLINKABLE POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITION COMPRISING A SILANOL CONDENSATION CATALYST

摘要

A polyethylene composition comprising a polyethylene comprising hydrolysable silane groups and a silanol condensation catalyst that can be crosslinked. The crosslinkable polyethylene comprises trimethoxy silane and/or triethoxy silane groups and the silanol condensation catalyst comprises an inorganic tin compound in which a tin atom has no covalent bond to a carbon atom. The crosslinked composition can be used in a cable, such as an insulation layer.
