Poly(etherimide-siloxane)-aromatic polyketone compositions and articles made therefrom

An article comprising an electrical wire, wherein the electrical wire comprises a conductor wire;

• and a covering disposed over the conductor wire, wherein the covering is formed from a thermoplastic composition comprising,
• 5-75 weight percent aromatic polyketone;
• and
• 25-95 weight percent poly(etherimide-siloxane) copolymer having a siloxane content of more than 0 to less than 50 weight percent based on the total weight of the poly(etherimide-siloxane) copolymer;
• wherein all weight percents are based on the total weight of the composition;
• and
• wherein the thermoplastic composition coating the conductor wire has one or more of the following properties:
• a tensile stress of greater than 30 MPa, determined according to UL-1581 after 24 hours at 23° C.;
• a tensile elongation of greater than 100%, determined according to UL-1581 after 24 hours at 23° C.;
• and
• achieves a pass rating in the single wire vertical flame propagation test conducted according to EN50265-2-1/IEC60332-1, as determined in the presence of the wire conductor,
• wherein the electrical wire has:
• a tensile stress of greater than 30 MPa, determined according to UL-1581 after heat aging for 168 hours at 178° C.;
• and
• a tensile elongation of greater than 50%, determined according to UL-1581 after heat aging for 168 hours at 178° C.
