PURPOSE:To crosslink the subject composition into the crosslinked product improved in moldability and strength by irradiating the mixture of a polyolefin resin, an unsaturated multi-functional compound, and a fluororubber with ionizing radiations, the fluororubber being produced by copolymerizing tetrafluoroethylene with propylene. CONSTITUTION:The mixture of a thermoplastic polyolefin resin (e.g. polyethylene), an unsaturated multi-functional compound (e.g. triallylisocyanurate), and a fluororubber produced by copolymerizing tetrafluoroethylene with propylene is mixed with calcium carbonate powder, and subsequently kneaded with a kneader for 3min at 150 deg.C to obtain a fluororubber composition. The fluororubber composition is extrusion-coated on collected and twisted tin-plated copper wires in a thickness of 0.5mm, and subsequently irradiated with 5Mrad ionizing radiations to obtain the crosslinked molded product capable of being easily molded, improved in mechanical characteristics, good in electric insulating property, resistances to heat, oil chemical and weather, and useful for electric insulating coatings, hoses, tubes, etc.

2. Description of the Related Art Fluorine rubber obtained by copolymerizing tetrafluoroethylene and propylene is used in a wide range of fields because it is excellent in electric insulation, heat resistance, oil resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance and the like. However, in the case of being used as an electrical insulating material such as an electric wire, for example, in order to improve the mechanical properties of the fluororubber molded product alone, the mechanical properties are insufficient.
A method has been proposed in which a composition blended with a polyolefin or the like, which has excellent electric insulation and mechanical properties in a well-balanced manner and is inexpensive, is crosslinked with an organic peroxide (Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-
46486).

However, in the method of crosslinking with an organic peroxide, when the organic peroxide is mixed with the blend of the fluororubber and the thermoplastic polyolefin resin, or when the blend is molded. In addition, it is necessary to heat the polyolefin to a melting temperature of 150 ° C. or higher. However, there is a problem in that the organic peroxide is decomposed before molding, or a part of the blend is crosslinked, so that molding is not easy and a good crosslinked molded article cannot be obtained.
