2. Description of the Related Art It is well known that low density polyethylene and other polyethylene resins are crosslinked to improve their mechanical strength and heat resistance, and various crosslinking means are known. Conventionally, a cross-linked polyethylene power cable has been used with a cross-linking method that causes inter-molecular cross-linking by heating with an organic peroxide.
Although the cross-linking method using this organic peroxide can cross-link low-density polyethylene produced by the high-pressure method, it is a linear polyethylene having a higher melting point and a higher melt viscosity than the low-density polyethylene produced by the high-pressure method. However, heat cannot be formed in the extruder due to heat generation in the extruder during molding and premature crosslinking occurs.

On the other hand, a method of producing crosslinked polyethylene by modifying polyethylene by reacting it with silane in the presence of an organic peroxide and contacting the silane-modified polyethylene with moisture under a silanol condensation catalyst is already known. (See Japanese Patent Publication No. 48-1711). Although the linear low-density polyethylene is excellent in mechanical strength and heat resistance, in the crosslinking method using the above-mentioned silane, when it is reacted with silane, the workability is significantly deteriorated and the load of the extruder becomes abnormally high. In addition, the surface of the extruded product becomes rough, and even if it is crosslinked, the physical properties of the extruded product are not improved, and conversely, the mechanical strength is decreased.

Temperature of linear low density polyethylene 190 ° C.,
Melt index measured at a load of 21600g is 45g / 10
It should be between minutes and 160/10 minutes. The melt index of polyethylene is usually 190 ° C and load is 2160g.
However, it cannot be judged under this condition, and the load is 216
Must be measured at 00g. This is because when the resin is modified with silane, the resin pressure at the time of extrusion increases from 1.5 times to 2 times or more that of the unmodified resin, so it is necessary to compare by melt index at high pressure. If the melt index under the above conditions is less than 45 g / 10 min, the heat generated in the extruder will be large, premature crosslinking will occur partially, the surface condition of the extruded product will deteriorate, and the mechanical strength will decrease. On the other hand, if the melt index exceeds 160 g / 10 min, the linear low-density polyethylene having butene-1 as a comonomer has a low mechanical strength, and therefore the insufficient strength cannot be compensated for by crosslinking.

The physical properties of the crosslinked molded article of the cable produced as described above were evaluated according to JIS-C3605. The results are shown in Table 1. As can be seen from Table 1, workability tends to improve as the melt index at a load of 21600 g increases, but it does not necessarily depend on the melt index alone.
It also depends on the type of comonomer of the base polymer.
If the comonomer is other than butene-1, the heat deformation rate is excellent, but the workability is significantly impaired and the mechanical strength is also reduced.
