The invention concerns an antidegradant blend, comprising: an aminic component comprising a hydroxylamine and/or a hydroxylamine precursor; and an inorganic antioxidant or reducing agent.

Polyolefin compositions comprising i) a polyolefin, ii) one or more phosphorus-containing benzofuranone compounds and iii) one or more hindered phenolic antioxidants are provided excellent protection against discoloration and enhanced thermal stability during melt processing as exhibited by improved retention of molecular weight and maintenance of polymer molecular architecture.

A communication cable composition, and a wire and a cable coated with same. the communication cable composition comprises 0.1-5 parts by weight of an antioxidant and 0.1-5 parts by weight of a lubricant with respect to 100 parts by weight of at least one polypropylene resin selected from among a thermoplastic olefin, a polypropylene block copolymer, and a polypropylene homopolymer. It A communication cable resin composition according to present disclosure has excellent communication performance, heat resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance by using a base resin and an antioxidant, wherein various polypropylene resins are used alone or, as appropriate, in combinations as the base resin. An insulated wire and a communication cable coated with such a composition improves the stability of the cable by increasing chemical resistance and oil resistance. In addition, the insulated wire and the communication cable increase heat resistance to the UL 105° C. level.

A tackifier composition comprising at least one thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin and an antioxidant composition is provided; wherein a portion of the volatile organic compounds in the thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin has been removed; wherein the antioxidant composition comprises at least one primary antioxidant and at least one secondary antioxidant; and wherein the levels of individual volatile organic compound monitored in the tackifier composition are less than about 0.5 ppm as measured by GC/MS headspace analysis. Processes for producing the tackifier composition are also provided as well as adhesives comprising the tackifier compositions.
