Abstract: A polyolefin composition for electrical insulation which comprises polyolefin or crosslinked polyolefin and a small quantity of high-molecular weight polyethylene glycol. This composition is far less vulnerable to the deterioration that occurs as dendroid voids when employed as an electrical insulation of high-tension power cables which are operated under water. The polyethylene glycol has more than 44 carbon atoms and is used in an amount from 0.3 to 10 wt % based on polyolefin.
