Patent ID: 11339278

Abstract:
A polyethylene composition includes a first polyethylene which is an ethylene copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of from 70,000 to 250,000 and a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of <2.3, a second polyethylene which is an ethylene copolymer or homopolymer having a weight average molecular weight of from 15,000 to 100,000, a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of >2.3, and a third polyethylene which is an ethylene copolymer or homopolymer having a weight average molecular weight of from 70,000 to 250,000 and a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of >2.3, where the first polyethylene has more short chain branching than the second polyethylene or the third polyethylene. The polyethylene composition has a soluble fraction in a CEF analysis of at least 10 weight percent. Film made from the polyethylene composition may have a machine direction 1% secant modulus of 200 ≥MPa (at a film thickness of about 1 mil), a seal initiation temperature (SIT) of ≤90° C. (at a film thickness of about 2 mil), an area of hot tack window (AHTW) of ≥160 Newtons·C° (at a film thickness of about 2 mil) and an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of ≥600 cm3 per 100 inch per day (at a film thickness of about 1 mil).
