Polypropylene composition for cable insulation

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cable comprising at least one layer comprising a polypropylene composition comprising (A) from 80.0 to 99.0 wt.-%, preferably from 82.5 to 97.2 wt. %, most preferably from 85.0 to 95.0 wt.-% of a copolymer of propylene and comonomer units selected from ethylene and alpha-olefins having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms having a total amount of comonomer units of from 10.0 to 16.0 wt %, preferably from 11.0 to 15.0 wt %, most preferably from 12.0 to 14.0 wt %, based on the total amount of monomer units of the copolymer of propylene (A); a melt flow rate MFR2 of from 0.5 to 2.5 g/10 min, preferably from 0.8 to 2.3 g/10 min, still more preferably from 1.0 to 2.0 g/10 min and most preferably from 1.2 to 1.7 g/10 min; a xylene cold soluble (XCS) fraction in a total amount of from 25.0 to 50.0 wt %, preferably from 27.5 to 45.0 wt %, more preferably from 30.0 to 42.5 wt % and most preferably from 32.5 to 40.0 wt %, based on the total weight amount of the copolymer of propylene (A); and (B) from 1.0 to 20.0 wt.-%, preferably from 2.5 to 17.5 wt %, most preferably from 5.0 to 15.0 wt.-% of a propylene polymer having a density of from 855 to 890 kg/m, preferably from 860 to 885 kg/m, mot preferably from 865 to 880 kg/m.
