Zusammenfassung:A power cable and a process of manufacturing a power cable, where the power cable includes a core containing stranded electrically conductive wires that are impregnated with a water-blocking composition, wherein the water-blocking composition contains, based on a total weight of the water-blocking composition: (i) a thermoplastic polymer; and (ii) a positive amount of up to 30 wt% of a crosslinked polymer, where the crosslinked polymer is in the form of a powder having a particle diameter less than 900 μm and the crosslinked polymer is dispersed in the thermoplastic polymer.
