    摘要: Provided herein are polyolefin-based compositions useful for making rotomolded parts having useful properties, including those related to impact resistance and color. In one aspect, there are provided compositions comprising (a) a rotational molded polyolefin, comprising a resin, wherein the resin is polyethylene or a copolymer thereof, having a melt index (MI) ranging from about 1 g/10 minutes to about 10 g/10 minutes; and (b) an additive package comprising: (i) an antioxidant; (ii) a processing stabilizer; (iii) optionally a UV light stabilizer; (iv) optionally a fatty acid-based acid scavenger comprising a metal salt of a fatty acid; and (v) a dihydrotalcite-based acid scavenger present in the composition at between about 800 ppm to about 3,000 ppm. In some embodiments, the ARM Impact Percent Ductility is greater than or equal to about 60% for a molded part made from the cured composition and measured after the composition has been cured between 18-24 minutes at a temperature of 550° F.
