A thermoplastic polymer composition comprises a thermoplastic polymer, at least one clarifying agent, and at least one coloring agent. A method for producing a thermoplastic polymer composition comprises the steps of separately providing a thermoplastic polymer and an additive composition and then mixing the thermoplastic polymer and additive composition. The additive composition comprises a clarifying agent and a coloring agent. Another method for producing a thermoplastic polymer composition comprises the steps of separately providing a thermoplastic polymer, at least one clarifying agent, and at least one coloring agent and then mixing the thermoplastic polymer, the clarifying agent, and the coloring agent. The thermoplastic polymer exhibits a blue hue factor (&#x3b1;) of 0.93 to 1.1 and/or a normalized brightness value (Y') of 64.0 to 69.6. An additive composition contains at least one clarifying agent and at least one coloring agent.

A method for producing a cross-linked siloxane network comprises the steps of: (a) providing a first part comprising (i) a first siloxane compound comprising at least one cyclic siloxane moiety and (ii) a second siloxane compound comprising a plurality of siloxane moieties, (b) providing a second part, the second part comprising a hydroxide salt, (c) combining the first part and the second part to produce a reaction mixture, (d) heating the reaction mixture to a temperature sufficient for the hydroxide salt to open the ring of the cyclic siloxane moiety, and (e) maintaining the reaction mixture at an elevated temperature so that at least a portion of the opened cyclic siloxane moieties react to produce a cross-linked siloxane network.

A filtration medium comprises a textile substrate and a mercury abatement coating on a least a portion of the surface of the textile substrate. The mercury abatement coating comprises a copper salt, a binder, and other optional components. A process for removing mercury from a gaseous stream uses the filtration medium.
