Embodiments of this disclosure are directed to ethylene-based polymers. The ethylene-based polymers are polymerized units derived from ethylene, diene, and optionally one or more C.sub.3-C.sub.12α-olefins. The ethylene-based polymer includes a melt strength greater than negative 17 times the log base 10 of the melt index plus 25 ((MS)>−17*log (MI)+25). In the equation, MS is the melt strength in cN and MI is the melt index in g/10 min according to ASTM D1238. The ethylene-based polymer also includes an average g′ that is greater than 0.70. The average g′ is an intrinsic viscosity ratio determined by gel permeation chromatography using a triple detector.

The present invention relates to a polyolefin composition comprising a cross-linkable polyolefin with hydrolysable silane groups; an acidic silanol condensation catalyst, wherein the acidic silanol condensation catalyst (B) is present in an amount of 0.0001 to 3 wt. % of the polyolefin composition; at least one UV stabilizer selected from the group consisting of phenols, triazines, benzophenones, triazoles and/or combinations thereof; and at least one UV stabilizer of the hindered amine type (HALS) which is present in an amount of 0.0001 to 0.1 wt. % of the polyolefin composition. The present invention also relates to an article comprising such a composition, and to the use of such a composition for the production of an article.
