The present disclosure is directed to a halogen-free composition and conductors coated with the halogen-free composition. The halogen-free composition includes (A) from 70 wt % to 85 wt % of a polymeric component and (B) from 30 wt % to 15 wt % of a halogen-free flame retardant. The polymeric component (A) includes (i) a propylene homopolymer or a mini-random copolymer with greater than 40% crystallinity and (ii) an ethylene/a-olefin copolymer. The halogen-free composition has a density less than 1.15 g/cc. The halogen-free composition also has a scrape abrasion resistance of greater than or equal to 350 cycles as measured in accordance with ISO 6722.

Halogen-free propylene-based insulation and conductor coated with same

Plastic optical fibers or plastic optical fiber cores with good high temperature resistance to optical attenuation loss are prepared from a cyclic block copolymer characterized by a: A. Weight ratio of hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer block to hydrogenated vinyl aromatic polymer block of 35:65 to 10:90; B. Number average molecular weight (Mn) of from 40,000 to 150,000, grams per mole (g/mol); and C. Hydrogenation level such that each hydrogenated vinyl aromatic polymer block and each hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer block has a hydrogenation level of at least 95 percent.

Plastic optical fiber comprising cyclic block copolymer

Compositions including a polymer, a primary antioxidant, a secondary antioxidant, and a metal deactivator selected from at least one of 2,2'-oxamido bis[ethyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate] and oxalyl bis(benzylidenehydrazide), are disclosed. The compositions can also include a light stabilizer. The compositions can be used to manufacture insulations for wire and cable. The compositions have improved long-term heat aging and also retain their color when exposed to heat. A method of making an insulation for a conductor, such as a wire or a cable, made from a composition is also provided.

Composition with enhanced heat resistance property

The present invention is a flame-retardant composition comprising a polyolefin polymer, a nano-silicate, a metal hydroxide, and calcium carbonate. The invention also includes a coating prepared from the flame-retardant composition as well as a wire-and-cable construction made by applying the coating over a wire or a cable. The invention also includes articles prepared from the flame-retardant composition, such as extruded sheets, thermoformed sheets, injection-molded articles, coated fabrics, roofing membranes, and wall coverings.

Flame retardant composition

A fragrance device for delivering a fragrance or other volatile material includes a fluid vessel containing a quantity of a fuel, a wick, and a porous emanator element which releases the fragrance or volatile material particularly when the wick is burning. Methods for the manufacture of the device, as well as methods for its use of are also disclosed.
