The present invention relates to a composition comprising more than 25 weight % (based on the weight of the composition) of one or more
ethylene polymers having an Mw of 20,000 g / mole or more and at least 0.1 weight % of a liquid
hydrocarbon modifier where the modifier has: 1) a
viscosity index of 120 or more, and 2) an kinematic
viscosity of 3 to 3000 cSt at 100° C., and 3) a
pour point of −10° C. or less, and 4) a
flash point of 200° C. or more; and wherein the modifier contains less than 5 weight % of functional groups selected from
hydroxide, aryls, substituted aryls, halogens, alkoxys, carboxylates, esters, acrylates,
oxygen,
nitrogen, and carboxyl, based upon the weight of the modifier.
