Abstract:
An ethylene polymer, which is an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and an .alpha.-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, having the following properties:(1) the melt index (MI) at a temperature of 190.degree. C. under a load of 21.6 kg is in the range of 0.1 to 100 g/10 min;(2) the density is in the range of 0.935 to 0.975 g/cm.sup.3 ; and(3) the characteristic value of biaxial extensional flow, .lambda.MAX (.lambda.MAX herein is an index of the extension ratio at which the nominal stress is maximum, provided that the extension ratio is in the range of 1 to 3, experimentally obtainable by a biaxial extensional flow test carried out at 190.degree. C. at a constant strain rate d.epsilon./dt of 0.05 s.sup.-1), is at least 1.6.
