Abstract: A polymeric composition includes an ethylene-based polymer and a free radical scavenger having structure (I), wherein, R1 and R2 are independently linear, or branch form alkyl, alkenyl, phenyl or aryl group moieties with or without substituents and each of R1 and R2 have a carbon number from 1 to 100, further wherein the polymeric composition is thermoplastic.

Abstract: A polymeric composition includes 90 wt % to 99 wt % of an ethylene-based polymer based on a total weight of the polymeric composition; 0.1 wt % to 1 wt % of a hindered amine light stabilizer based on the total weight of the polymeric composition; and 0.1 wt % to 5.0 wt % of at least one of MgO, Mg (OH)2, ZnO and Zn (OH)2 based on the total weight of the polymeric composition.

Abstract: A cable includes (a) a conductor; and (b) an expanded polymeric coating surrounding at least a portion of the conductor, the expanded polymeric coating including: (i) 70.0 wt. % to 99.8 wt. % low-density polyethylene homopolymer; and (ii) 0.2 wt. % to 5.0 wt. % of expanded polymeric microspheres having a D50 average diameter of from 25 ?m to 40 ?m, wherein the expanded polymeric coating has a density of 0.75 g/cc or less.

Abstract: Semiconductive shield layers for power cable constructions are made from a composition that has: (A) A nonpolar, ethylene-based polymer having a density of greater than (>) 0.90 glee and a melt index of >20 g/10 min at 190° C./2.16 Kg; (B) A polar polymer consisting of ethylene and an unsaturated alkyl ester having 4 to 20 carbon atoms; (C) Acetylene carbon black; and (D) A curing agent; with the provisos that (1) the composition has a phase separated structure, and (2) the weight ratio of nonpolar polymer to polar polymer is from 0.25 to 4.
