Claim:
An ethylenic copolymer composition comprising; (A) an ethylenic copolymer that is obtained through copolymerization of (a) ethylene and (b) an α-olefin having from 3 to 20 carbon atoms, such that (1) the ratio of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the copolymer to the number average molecular weight (Mn) thereof, Mw/Mn, falls between 1.5 and 4, said molecular weights being measured through gel permeation chromatography in terms of polyethylene, and the weight average molecular weight (Mw) falls between 3,000 and 1,000,000, (2) the relationship between the half width at the half maximum [W/2] of the curve as obtained through Gaussian distribution approximation relative to the essential peak of the compositional distribution curve of the copolymer obtained through temperature rising elution fractionation analysis, and the average, n, of short-chain branches existing in the copolymer (per 1000 carbons of the copolymer) satisfies the following equation: 0.704+0.147 n≦W /2≦−0.055+0.577 n, (3) the resin density of the copolymer falls between 0.85 and 0.95 g/cm 3 , and (4) the tear strength (TS, kgf/cm) of the copolymer satisfies the following equations: TS ≧131.5−155×log[{( B+C+D )/ A }+0.1], and 0.1≦( B+C+D )/ A ≦1 where A in FIG. 1 indicates the area of the range that is surrounded by the curve as obtained through Gaussian distribution approximation relative to the essential peak of the compositional distribution curve of the copolymer obtained through temperature rising elution fractionation analysis, and the base line of said compositional distribution curve; B in FIG. 1 indicates the area of the range that is surrounded by said compositional distribution curve, said curve obtained through Gaussian distribution approximation relative to said essential peak, and said base line, and that is in the lower elution temperature side and is at an elution temperature higher than 32° C., while C indicates the area of the range that is surrounded by said three and which is in the higher elution temperature side; and D indicates the area of the range that is surrounded by said compositional distribution curve and said base line and that is at an elution temperature between 25 and 32° C.; and (B) an ethylenic copolymer that is obtained through copolymerization of ethylene and an α-olefin having from 3 to 20 carbon atoms, such that the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the copolymer as measured through gel permeation chromatography in terms of polyethylene falls between 3,000 and 1,000,000, and that the resin density of the copolymer falls between 0.85 and 0.95 g/cm 3 .
