<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in order to sufficiently obtain the effect of preventing the oxidative deterioration, it is necessary to add a certain amount of the oxidative deterioration inhibitor, but when the amount of addition is large (saturation of polyethylene is If the amount exceeds the dissolution amount), if the pellets are stored for a long period of time, the XLPE composition will not be exuded as blooms on the pellet surface, or even if they do not exude as blooms on the pellets. When processed into a tape or the like, the surface area becomes larger than the volume, so that there is also a problem that the oxidative deterioration inhibitor oozes out as a bloom.

A tape made of such a composition that easily blooms,
For example, when it is used as an insulator of a connection portion of a power cable, not only the electric characteristics are deteriorated, but also the workability of the tape winding process is deteriorated.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have made earnest studies on a polyethylene composition having no adverse effect even if a desired amount of antioxidant is added, and as a result, the antioxidant and the specific density ultra-low density polyethylene (hereinafter , VLDPE) and low density polyethylene (hereinafter abbreviated as LDPE) in combination, it was found that the occurrence of bloom can be effectively suppressed.

本発明は、このような観点に立ってなされたものであ

<Means for Solving Problems and Its Action> The characteristic point of the present invention is that the density is 0.88 to 0.91 g / cm 3.
VLDPE less than 3 5 to less than 50 parts by weight and density 0.91 to 0.94 g / cm 3.
LDPE 95 to 50 parts by weight and oxidative deterioration inhibitor 0.1 to
A polyethylene composition comprising 0.4 parts by weight and 1.0 to 3.0 parts by weight of dicumyl peroxide (hereinafter abbreviated as DCP).

In concrete blending, VLDPE and LDPE are blended so that the desired amount becomes 100 parts by weight in total, and then an antioxidant is blended to make a blend, and DCP is added to this blend.

考えられる。
By this blending, it is possible to obtain a polyethylene composition which has a sufficient degree of cross-linking and aging properties and at the same time has no bloom. The reason for this is considered that VLDPE has a large amount of amorphous portion, and the oxidative deterioration inhibitor dissolves in this amorphous portion.

Such VLDPE used in the present invention, the compounding part number is 5 to 5
The reason why the amount is less than 0 parts by weight is that bloom occurs when the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, and the mechanical properties of the composition, particularly the tensile strength, deteriorates when the amount exceeds 50 parts by weight.

また、本発明で用いるLDPEの配合部数を、95〜50を越

The LDPE used in the present invention has a blending part weight of more than 95 to 50 because the total weight of VLDPE is 100 parts by weight as described above.

And, the mixing part number, 0.1-0.4 parts by weight,
If the amount is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the amount is too small and the aging property is poor, and 0.4
This is because blooming occurs when the amount exceeds the weight part.

Further, the number of parts of DCP used in the present invention is 1.0 to 3.0.
The reason why the amount is less than 1.0 part by weight is that the desired sufficient degree of crosslinking cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 3.0 parts by weight, scorch is generated.
