Although a wide variety of crosslinking methods can be employed at this time, water crosslinking and electron beam crosslinking are preferred. These water crosslinking methods and electronic crosslinking methods themselves may be conventionally known methods. These crosslinking methods need to be carried out at a temperature of 150° C. or lower. The reason for this is that the flame retardant blended into polyolefin resins is not very stable against heat, and when crosslinking occurs at temperatures higher than this, the flame retardant decomposes and the desired flame retardance is not achieved. This is because there may be cases where it is not possible.
