(54) A cross-linking agent


(57) The present invention relates to a crosslinkable polymer composition comprising an unsaturated polyolefin having a total amount of carbon-carbon double bonds/1000 carbon atoms of at least 0.38, and at least one crosslinking agent being a carbon-carbon initiator that is free of peroxide groups and capable of thermally decomposing into carbon-based free radicals by breaking at least one carbon-carbon single bond, such as 3,4-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylhexane.
