Silane-functionalized compositions comprising a polymeric brominated flame retardant with a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of equal to or greater than (&#x2265;) 1,000 g/mol exhibit improved burn and crush strength properties as compared to silane-functionalized compositions alike in all aspects except that the Mw of the brominated flame retardant is less than (&#x3c;) 1,000 g/mol.

Compositions comprising brominated polymeric flame retardant

The process of curing a silane-functionalized ethylenic polymer using a tin-based catalyst, e.g., dibutyltin dilaurate, is accelerated by the addition of a titanium (IV) oxide.

Granular material for dosage forms

In a method of removing alkylene halogenohydrin from a cellulose ether the cellulose ether is provided, water is added to the cellulose ether and subsequently alkylene halogenohydrin and water is removed from the cellulose ether by evaporation. Alternatively steam or a steam mixture can be sparged across or through the cellulose ether to remove halogenohydrin from the cellulose ether.

Method of removing alkylene halogenohydrin from cellulose ether

A dosage form for controlled release is produced from a composition comprising a granular material having a mean particle diameter of 150 to 350 micrometers and a compactibility resulting in a compact with a tensile strength of at least 1.7 MPa when the granular material is subjected to a compaction pressure of 266 MPa, at least 80 percent of the granular material being a water-soluble cellulose ether, water-soluble cellulose ester, an alkylene oxide homo- or copolymer, or a blend thereof; and an active ingredient.
