    摘要: A polymeric composition includes a silane functionalized polyolefin, a brominated flame retardant having a Temperature of 5% Mass Loss from 300° C. to 700° C. as measured according to Thermogravimetric Analysis, wherein the brominated flame retardant is polymeric and has a weight average molecular weight of from 1,000 g/mol to 30,000 g/mol as measured using Gel Permeation Chromatography, and antimony trioxide. The polymeric composition has an antimony (Sb) to bromine (Br) molar ratio (Sb:Br molar ratio) of 0.35 to 0.98.

    摘要: Disclosed are compositions which include an ethylene polymer derived from at least one polar monomer with one or more ester groups, and a rosin ester. The rosin ester can have a low hydroxyl number (e.g., a hydroxyl number seven or less), a low acid number (e.g., an acid number of ten or less), a relatively low PAN number (e.g., a PAN number less than twenty-five), a relatively high third moment or third power average molecular weight (Mz), (e.g., an Mz value in between 2500 and 12000 g/mol), a low sulfur content (e.g., a sulfur content lower than 600 ppm prior to antioxidant addition) or combinations thereof. The compositions can exhibit a high heat stress resistance (e.g., a heat stress pass temperature value higher than 52° C. or in between 48° C. and 60° C.) and/or improved viscosity stability and/or color stability upon thermal aging and/or improved compatibility.
