    摘要: An ethylene copolymer composition comprises: a first ethylene copolymer having a density of from 0.855 to 0.913 g/cm3, a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn of from 1.7 to 2.3, and a melt index, I2 of from 0.1 to 20 g/10 min; a second ethylene copolymer having a density of from 0.875 to 0.936 g/cm3, a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn of from 2.3 to 6.0, and a melt index, I2 of from 0.3 to 100 g/10 min; and optionally a third ethylene copolymer; where the first ethylene copolymer has more short chain branches per thousand carbon atoms than the second ethylene copolymer and the density of the second ethylene copolymer is equal to or higher than the density of the first ethylene copolymer. The ethylene copolymer composition has a density of from 0.865 to 0.913 g/cm3; a melt index, I2 of from 0.5 to 10 g/10 min; and a fraction eluting at from 90 to 105° C., having an integrated area of greater than 4 weight percent in a CTREF analysis; and at least 0.0015 parts per million (ppm) of hafnium.
    Blown film made from the ethylene copolymer composition has a hot tack window (HTW) of at least 45° C. (at a film thickness of about 2 mil) and a seal initiation temperature (SIT) of less than 95° C. (at a film thickness of about 2 mil).

    摘要: This disclosure relates to ethylene interpolymer product having intermediate branching. Intermediate branching was defined as branching that was longer than the branch length due to comonomer and shorter than the entanglement molecular weight (Me). Intermediately branched ethylene interpolymer products were produced in a continuous solution polymerization process employing an intermediate branching catalyst formulation. Intermediately branched ethylene interpolymer products were characterized by a Non-Comonomer Index Distribution (NCIDi), a melt index from 0.3 to 500 dg/minute, a density from 0.858 to 0.965 g/cm3, a polydispersity (Mw/Mn) from about 2 to about 25 and a CDBI50 from about 10% to about 98%. A method based on triple detection cross fractionation chromatography (3D-CFC) was disclosed to measure NCIDi.

    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.
