Abstract:
1. A polyethylene fabric having improved stretch and strain properties, comprising: a reinforcing layer comprising a woven scrim made from a mixture of high density polyethylene and cyclic-olefin copolymers, wherein the reinforcing layer is produced from a film slit into tapes wherein the tapes have a denier of 1600; wherein the cyclic-olefin copolymer is formed by a process comprising polymerizing 2 norbornene with ethylene in the presence of a single site catalyst, wherein the cyclic-olefin copolymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) ranging from about 60° C. to about 70° C., wherein the cyclic olefin copolymer has melt flow rate of about 1.0 at 190° C.; and wherein the high density polyethylene has a melt index ranging from about 0.65 g/10 min to about 0.75 g/10 min.
