  • Publication number: 20150357081
    Abstract: Solved is the following problem in terms of outer appearance: a covered electric wire obtained by extrusion of a low cost linear polyethylene resin (LLDPE) has irregularities formed on the surface thereof because processing suitability of LLDPE is poor. As a solution to the problem, a resin composition including 50 to 97 parts by weight of LLDPE and 3 to 50 parts by weight of a polypropylene (PP) based resin can be used to thereby produce a covered electric wire excellent in surface smoothness at a high speed and a low cost.
