New polypropylene composition, which combines low sealing initiation temperature (SIT), high hot-tack and good optical properties, like low haze, the use of such polypropylene composition and articles made therefrom.

Provided are an ethylene polymer mixture, a method of preparing the same, and a molded article using the same. More specifically, an ethylene polymer mixture in which two ethylene polymers having different densities are mixed, a method of preparing the same, and a molded article having a low haze and a low heat sealing temperature using the ethylene polymer mixture, are provided.

A non-asphaltic sealant composition, and methods of producing and using the sealant composition, wherein the non-asphaltic sealant composition includes a sufficient amount of one or more polar, non-asphaltic base resins having functional groups for hydrogen bonding to provide high adhesion for sealing cracks and joints in polar concrete pavements and other polar substrates.

What are described are mixtures comprising selected phosphinic salts as component A, polymeric carbodiimide compounds as component B, and at least two of components C, D and/or G, where component C is a sterically hindered phenol, component D is an organic phosphite or phosphonite, and component G is a lubricant or demoulding agent. The mixtures may be used for production of flame-retardant compositions of thermoplastic polymers. These compositions feature enhanced hydrolysis stability.

A hot-melt composition includes, with respect to 100 parts by mass of (A) a hydrogenated styrene thermoplastic elastomer having styrene-based polymer blocks at both ends and a hydrogenated diene polymer block at a middle portion and having a mass-average molecular weight of 250,000-600,000, 20-150 parts by mass of (B) a first styrene-based tackifying resin having a softening point of 135-160° C., 100-400 parts by mass of (C) a second styrene-based tackifying resin having a softening point of 105-135° C., 100-500 parts by mass of (D) a third tackifying resin for the hydrogenated diene polymer block having a softening point of 100-160° C. and 500-1,500 parts by mass of (E) a liquid softener.
