Abstract:
1. A method for producing a flame retardant formulation comprising combining, blending, incorporating or adding (1) a flammable resin or polymer to (2) flame retardant pellets or compositions thereby forming the flame retardant formulation; wherein said flame retardant pellets or compositions comprise at least one flame retardant and at least one alpha-olefin interpolymer, wherein said flame retardant is a halogenated diphenyl alkane, and wherein the amount of said flame retardant is greater than 80 wt % based on the total weight of the flame retardant pellets or compositions and wherein said alpha-olefin interpolymer is characterized by two or more of the following properties: a) a density in the range of from about 0.85 to about 0.91 b) a molecular weight distribution, M c) a processing index (“PI”) in the range of about 0.01 kpoise to about 50 kpoise; d) a melt index in the range of from about 0.01 grams/10 minutes (g/10 min) to about 1000 g/10 min; e) an I f) a CDBI of greater than about 50 percent; and wherein the amount of flame retardant in the flame retardant formulation is about 1-30 wt % based on the total weight of the flame retardant formulation.
