Abstract:
A composition comprising a blend of at least two polyethylene components, the first polyethylene component having a narrow molecular weight distribution as reflected by having a melt index below 6.0 dg/min at 190.degree. C., a swell ratio below 1.5, and an annealed density of 0.91 to 0.93 g/cc; and the second polyethylene component having a broad molecular weight distribution as reflected by having a melt index of at least about 6 dg/min at 190.degree. C., a swell ratio about 1.5 or above, and an annealed density of 0.91 to 0.92 g/cc, wherein the first polyethylene component is present in an amount greater than 50% by weight and the gloss of the composition in coating or film form is higher than the gloss provided from either component alone.
