Abstract:
1. A cable comprising a conductor surrounded by at least one jacketing layer comprising a polymer composition which comprises a polymer component and a carbon black (CB) component, wherein the polymer composition has a flexural modulus of less than 390 MPa, when determined according to ISO 178 using a pressed test specimen (80×10×4.0 mm, length×width×thickness), and a strain at break (%) of 700% or more, when determined according to ISO 527-1:1993 using a pressed test specimen prepared according ISO527-2:1993 5A; and wherein the polymer composition contains: (1) at least 40 wt %, of an LDPE polymer selected from an LDPE homopolymer or an LDPE copolymer of ethylene with one or more comonomers; (2) less than 60 wt %, of LLDPE polymer which is a linear low density copolymer of ethylene with one or more olefin comonomers, and (3) from 1 to 20 wt %, of a carbon black masterbatch, based on the total amount of the polymer composition.
