Patent ID: 8916649

Claim:
A composition comprising: a solid comprising a mixture of first and second ethylene polymers, from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a stabilizing agent for each 100 parts by weight of the mixture, and a plurality of gels of varying size dispersed in the solid, wherein said composition has a density of 0.950-0.970 g/cm 3 , an MI 5 of 0.08 to 1.0 g/10 min, a 3-point flexural Young's modulus when compression molded, as measured on an Instron apparatus according to ISO 178, greater than 1.340*{1-exp[-235*(density−0.9451)]}; and wherein a 5 m 2 sample of a 50 micrometer thick cast film prepared from a sample of the composition exhibits both of: (i) less than 6 gels per m 2 of a size greater than 800 micrometers, and (ii) less than 100 gels per m 2 of a size in the range from 400 to 800 micrometers.
