<Means for Solving the Problems and Their Functions> The feature of the present invention is that the number of terminal carbon-carbon double bonds is 0.7 to 1.5 per 1000 carbon atoms, and the melt flow ratio ( 100 parts by weight of low-density polyethylene having an MFR of 0.5 to 7.0, 0.5 to 3.0 parts by weight of DCP, 0.5 to 1.0 part by weight of triallyl isocyanurate (hereinafter abbreviated as TAIC), and 4,4'-thiobis 0.1-0.6 parts by weight of (6-tertiary-butyl-3-methylphenol) (hereinafter abbreviated as 4,4'-thiobis) in an insulator composition used for connection parts of electric wires and cables.

The amount of DCP used in the present invention is 0.5 to 3.0 parts by weight because a desired degree of crosslinking cannot be obtained if the amount is less than 0.5 part by weight, and if the amount exceeds 3.0 parts by weight, scorch is generated too much. .

Further, the TAIC used in the present invention has a function of suppressing the generation of water at the time of heating the mold, and the compounding amount is set to 0.5 to 1.0 part by weight, when less than 0.5 part by weight, the degree of crosslinking is low. The reason is that almost no effect of suppressing the generation of water is obtained, and if it exceeds 1.0 part by weight, scorch is generated.

In addition, 4,4′-thiobis used in the present invention has a function of suppressing cross-linking and prevents oxidative deterioration.The amount of 0.15 to 0.6 parts by weight is less than 0.15 parts by weight. This is because the effect of suppressing crosslinking is small and scorch occurs.
On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.6 parts by weight, the amount is too large and a sufficient degree of crosslinking cannot be obtained.

In addition, the polyethylene used in the present invention has terminal carbon-carbon double bonds per 1,000 carbon atoms, 0.7 to 1.5,
It is a low-density polyethylene having a melt flow ratio (MFR) of 0.5 to 7.0. Here, the number of terminal carbon-carbon double bonds is set to 0.7 to 1.5 per 1000 carbon atoms, and the melt flow ratio is set to 0.5 to 7.0. This is because the degree is low and if this value exceeds 1.5, scorch occurs. If the melt flow ratio is less than 0.5, scorch is likely to occur. If the melt flow ratio exceeds 7.0, uneven thickness and sagging occur during molding.
