Abstract:
A polyethylene which(a) comprises about 85 to about 98 wt % of recurring units of ethylene and about 2 to about 15 wt % of recurring units of a C3 to C10 &agr;-olefin; (b) has a multimodal molecular weight distribution comprising a low molecular weight component and a high molecular weight component wherein the weight ratio of the high molecular weight component to the low molecular weight component is within the range of about 65/35 to about 35/65; (c) has a density within the range of about 0.92 to 0.944 g/cc; (d) has an MI2 within the range of about 0.01 to about 0.5 dg/min; and (e) has an MFR within the range of about 50 to about 300; wherein the low molecular weight component has an MI2 from about 50 to about 600 dg/min and a density from about 0.94 to about 0.955 g/cc.
