    摘要: This disclosure relates to an improved continuous solution polymerization process wherein production rate is increased. Process solvent, ethylene, optional comonomers, optional hydrogen and a bridged metallocene catalyst formulation are injected into a first reactor to form a first ethylene interpolymer. Optionally, process solvent, ethylene, optional comonomers, optional hydrogen and a bridged metallocene catalyst formulation are injected into a second reactor forming a second ethylene interpolymer. The first and second reactors may be configured in series or parallel modes of operation. Optionally, a third ethylene interpolymer is formed in a third reactor, wherein a homogeneous catalyst formulation or a heterogeneous catalyst formulation is employed. In solution, the first, optional second and optional third ethylene interpolymers are combined, the catalyst is deactivated, the solution is optionally passivated and following a phase separation process an ethylene interpolymer product is recovered.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention described herein relate to a polyethylene polymer composition suitable for use in the manufacture of packaging articles, flexible films and/or sheets. In one embodiment, the copolymer comprises a polyethylene resin with density 0.918 g/cm3 to about 0.935 g/cm3, G′ at G″(500 Pa) value, as determined from Dynamic Mechanical Analysis at 190° C., of less than 40 Pa, Mz/Mw of greater than 2, CDBI50 of greater than 60. Other embodiments relate to polymer compositions with defined molecular characteristics and formulations suitable for use in the manufacture of articles including films, sheets, bags and pouches with improved creep resistance and high toughness and a good balance of film stiffness and processability in monolayer and/or multi-layer film structures.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to an improved solution polymerization process wherein the molecular weight of an ethylene interpolymer product can be increased relative to a comparative process; or at constant ethylene interpolymer molecular weight the improved process can be operated at higher polymerization temperature relative to the comparative process. This disclosure also relates to an improved solution polymerization process wherein an ethylene interpolymer product at target density can be produced at a lower [α-olefin/ethylene] weight ratio in the reactor, relative to a comparative process. Process solvent, ethylene, optional comonomers, optional hydrogen and a bridged metallocene catalyst formulation are injected into one or more reactors to form the ethylene interpolymer product. The catalyst is subsequently deactivated, the solution is optionally passivated and following a phase separation process the ethylene interpolymer product is recovered.
