Development of value-added polyethylene grades with extended service lifetime: Weathering resistant flame retarded materials for outdoor applications by Porfyris, A. D.

“…The current article deals with the development of different novel, tailor-made polyolefin formulations exhibiting both low flammability and high weathering resistance, so as to provide value-added polyethylene grades with extended service lifetime. Two low-density (LDPE) and one linear low-density (LLDPE) polyethylene grades were modified via melt compounding with an additive system comprising: (a) a nitrogen-phosphorous intumescent system for flame retardance and (b) a hindered amine light stabilizer and a benzophenone-type UV absorber for UV/heat stabilization, at a total loading of 30-35 wt%. …”
