Abstract:
An (electron beam) -curable (EBC) formulation comprising an EBC polyolefin compound having a crystallinity of from 0 to less than 50 weight percent (wt%) and/or having a density of 0.930 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm 3 ) or less; and an alkenyl-functional monocyclic organosiloxane ( "silicon-based coagent" ). Also included are a cured polyolefin product prepared by electron-beam irradiating the EBC formulation; methods of making and using the EBC formulation or cured polyolefin product; and articles containing or made from the EBC formulation or cured polyolefin product.

Abstract:
A family of novel hybrid compounds comprise a hindered phenolic scorch retardant and an allyl isocyanurate cure co-agent. Combining these two functionalities into a single molecule provides a synergy between the allyl isocyanurate and phenolic groups that achieves an improved balance between curing and scorch.
Abstract:
Crosslinkable polymeric compositions comprising an ethylene-based polymer, an organic peroxide, and a diallyl isocyanurate crosslinking coagent. Such crosslinkable polymeric compositions and their crosslinked forms can be employed as polymeric layers in wire and cable applications, such as insulation in power cables.
