Claim Text:
1. A polymer composition comprising: A) an unsaturated low density polyethylene (LDPE) homopolymer, an LDPE copolymer with one or more unsaturated comonomer(s), or an LDPE copolymer with one or more polar comonomer(s); and B) less than 15 wt % of a cross-linking agent, based on a weight of the polymer composition, wherein said cross-linking agent consists of a free radical generating compound, which is a diradical generating compound which contains sites of C—C unsaturation which cyclise to form a diradical and which is a cis-ene-diyne compound of formula (I): wherein wherein the polymer composition has a crosslinkability expressed as a gel content of at least 56% when measured from a sample of the crosslinked polymer composition (ASTM D 2765-01, Method A, decaline extraction) when cross-linked only by the diradical generating compound.
