Patent ID: 8796409

Claim:
A long chain branched high density ethylene polymer having: at least 95 mol % ethylene; a density of from 0.950 g/cm 3 to 0.96 g/cm 3 ; an Mw/Mn of 4.5 or less; a melt index (190° C., 2.16 kg) of 5 dg/min or less; an Mw within a range of from 68,945 to 133,530; a g′ (Zave) within a range of from 0.89 to 0.925; high load melt index (190° C., 21.6 kg) within a range of from 2.16 to 108.35 dg/min; a melt index ratio (MIR) within a range of from 31.43 to 64.73; and wherein polyethylene having an Mw of 1000 or less are present at less than 5 wt %, based upon the weight of the polyethylene polymer; and produced by a method of combining ethylene and a bridged or unbridged bis-indenyl or bis-tetrahydroindenyl metallocene catalyst compound.
