Claim 0:
1. A polyethylene homopolymer composition, the polyethylene homopolymer composition comprising:
(1) 10 to 90 weight % of a first ethylene homopolymer having a density, d1 of from 0.930 to 0.975 g/cm3, a melt index, I21 of from 0.01 to 10 g/10 min, and a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn of less than 2.5; and
(2) 90 to 10 weight % of a second ethylene homopolymer having a density, d2 of from 0.945 to 0.980 g/cm3, a melt index, I22 of at least 1.0 g/10 min, and a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn of less than 2.5;
wherein melt index, I22 of the second ethylene homopolymer is greater than the melt index, I21 of the first ethylene homopolymer, and wherein the polyethylene homopolymer composition has a weight average molecular weight, Mw of ≤75,000 and a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn of less than 4.0.
