Abstract:
1. An ethylene polymer comprising a higher molecular weight component and a lower molecular weight component, wherein the ethylene polymer has a density of greater than or equal to about 0.95 g/cm 3 , a melt index (MI) in a range from about 0.05 to about 1.5 g/10 min, a ratio of high load melt index to melt index (HLMI/MI) in a range from about 40 to about 175, a bimodal molecular weight distribution, less than about 0.008 long chain branches per 1000 total carbon atoms, a non-conventional comonomer distribution, and a slope of a plot of the viscosity (Pa-sec) versus shear rate (sec −1 ) at 190° C. of the ethylene polymer at 100 sec −1 in a range from about 0.42 to about 0.65.
