An insulation or jacket layer for a coated conductor is composed of (A) a crosslinked silane-functional polyolefin, (B) a filler composed of greater than 50 wt % silica, based on the total weight of the filler, (C) a silicone-containing polymer selected from the group consisting of reactive linear silicone-containing polymers, non-reactive linear silicone-containing polymers, and non-reactive branched silicone-containing polymers, and (D) from 0.00 wt % to 20 wt % of a silanol condensation catalyst, based on the total weight of the insulation or jacket layer. |
