Abstract
A composition comprising at least one silane possessing an unsaturated organic function; at least two free radical initiators, and a process for producing silane-crosslinked thermoplastic polymers comprising providing a cross-linkable compound; at least one thermoplastic polymer; and, reacting the crosslinkable compound under reactive mechanical-working conditions and exposing the crosslinkable compound to moisture to provide crosslinked thermoplastic polymers.

1-27. (canceled)
A crosslinked polyolefin produced by a process comprising:
- a) providing a mixture of:
- (i) at least one silane possessing an unsaturated organic function;
- (ii) at least two free radical initiators, the first initiator having a first half-life temperature and the second initiator having a second half-life temperature being higher than said first half-life temperature;
- (iii) at least one thermoplastic polyolefin;
- and,
- b) reacting the mixture of step (a) under reactive mechanical-working conditions and exposure to moisture to provide said crosslinked polyolefin.
