Abstract
Abstract A semiconductive resin composition used in power cables having excellent properties is disclosed, which comprises 100 parts by weight of a base resin of at least one member selected from the group consisting of a low-density polyethylene, an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl acetate content of 25% by weight or less and an ethylene/(meth)acrylate copolymer having a (meth)acrylate content of 20% by weight or less, and 6 to 25 parts by weight of electroconductive carbon black having a DBP-absorption number of 220 to 340 ml/100 g and an impurity metal residue of 0.2% by weight or less.
