Abstract

Scorch of a silane-functionalized polyolefin is minimized during melt mixing with a flame retardant through the use of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) having a (1) number average molecular weight (Mn) greater than or equal to (≥) 4,000 grams per mole (g/mol), (2) viscosity of greater than or equal to (≥) 90 centipoise (cP), and (3) hydroxyl group content of less than or equal to (≤) 0.9 weight percent (wt %) based on the weight of the PDMS.
