Claim 7:
8. The peroxide-curable formulation of claim 7 characterized by any one of limitations (i) to (xiii): (i) the (D) PC polyolefin compound is a low density polyethylene (LDPE) having a density from 0.910 to 0.925 g/cm3; (ii) the (D) PC polyolefin compound is a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) having a density from 0.910 to 0.925 g/cm3; (iii) the (D) PC polyolefin compound is a medium density polyethylene (MDPE) having a density from 0.926 to 0.940 g/cm3; (iv) the (D) PC polyolefin compound is a high density polyethylene (HDPE) having a density from 0.941 to 0.990 g/cm3; (v) the (D) PC polyolefin compound is a polyethylene elastomer selected from an ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR), ethylene-1-butene rubber (EBR), and ethylene-1-octene rubber (EOR); (vi) the (D) PC polyolefin compound is an ethylene/(C3-C20)alpha-olefin) copolymer; (vii) the (D) PC polyolefin compound is an ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPP); (viii) the (D) PC polyolefin compound is an ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) copolymer; (ix) the (D) PC polyolefin compound is a combination of any two or more of (i) to (viii); (x) the peroxide-curable formulation further comprises at least one additive that is not a constituent of the coagent masterbatch and is independently selected from optional additives (E) to (M): (E) an antioxidant, (F) a processing aid, (G) a colorant, (H) a metal deactivator, (I) an (unsaturated carbon-carbon bond)-free hydrolyzable silane, (J) a corrosion inhibitor, (K) a hindered amine light stabilizer, (L) an ethylene-based copolymer additive that is different than constituents (A) and (D) and is an ethylene/(C4-C20)alpha-olefin copolymer, an ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic ester copolymer, or a propylene/ethylene-based copolymer, and (M) a flame retardant; (xi) limitation (x) and any one of limitations (i) to (viii); (xii) (B) is from 0.1 to 20 wt % of the combined weight of constituents (A), (B) and (D); and (xiii) limitation (xii) and any one of limitations (i) to (xi).
