Moisture-crosslinkable compositions having an alkoxysilane functionalized ethylenic polymer, a polymeric brominated flame retardant, antimony trioxide, and a silanol condensation catalyst. The polymeric brominated flame retardant and the antimony trioxide are present in quantities sufficient to provide a molar ratio of antimony to bromine (Sb/Br) in the range of from 0.79 to 1.70. Additionally, the polymeric brominated flame retardant and the antimony trioxide are present in the composition in a combined amount of greater than 35 wt %. Such moisture-crosslinkable compositions are suitable for use in preparing crosslinked articles of manufacture, such as for wire-and-cable applications.
