(Means for Solving Problems) In the present invention, as a result of intensive studies in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, it was found that polyethylene obtained by grafting maleic anhydride onto polyethylene is effective. And, it was found that an excellent result as a power cable can be obtained especially when the grafted amount of maleic anhydride is 0.05 to 5% by weight.

(Function) In the above, the graft amount of maleic anhydride is 0.05% by weight.
If it is less than 5% by weight, the water tree is not suppressed, and if it exceeds 5% by weight, the dielectric properties and insulation resistance are deteriorated.
Low density polyethylene (LDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), linear polyethylene, etc. can be used as the base polyethylene for grafting maleic anhydride, but extrudability into cables Considering the flexibility of the insulator, it is more desirable to use LDPE as the base polyethylene. or,
As a matter of course, when the power cable is used at a high temperature and the flow of the insulator is a problem, maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene can also be used by enhancing the thermal characteristics by crosslinking. In this case, the means for the cross-linking treatment may be any of chemical cross-linking using an organic peroxide, cross-linking by irradiation with radiation such as an electron beam, and silane cross-linking using a silanizing agent.
