Problems solved by technology

Although the prior art is replete with various products and manufacturing techniques employing Ziegler / Natta catalysts for the preparation of ethylene copolymers, these known methods are still lacking in the preparation of a single polymer with good toughness, good processability and improved optical properties. Resin Required Capabilities
That is, known vinyl resins, including single reactor products, and even multi-reactor products or polymer blends, still do not exhibit the desired balance of good processability (expressed as facilitating extrusion processing to avoid problems such as those currently Very high demands on blown film making extruders with sufficient melt strength to allow for things such as good bubble stability to maximize output rates); well-balanced tear resistance; good tensile and Impact properties; low film haze and high gloss
[0003] Conventional approaches to achieving improved toughness in ethylene interpolymers include producing products with narrow molecular weight distributions due to the fact that broad molecular weight distributions are known to lead to reduced toughness
Additionally, it is known that linear ethylene homopolymers provide improved toughness relative to multi-armed LDPE at the expense of processability

Abstract

The present invention pertains to a heterogeneous ethylene / alpha-olefin copolymer having a relatively high melt index range (I2 from 1.1 to 1.6 dg / min.), low density (0.915 to 0.919 g / cc) and narrow molecular weight distribution (I10 / I2 from 7.0 to 7.7), and highly separated composition distribution as determined by SCBD; a process for making such a copolymer; blends thereof with additional polymers; and fabricated articles, especially films, made therefrom.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a heterogeneous ethylene / α-olefin copolymer having a relatively high melt index, low density, narrow molecular weight distribution and highly separated composition distribution as determined by CRYSTAF or ATREF analysis. The invention also relates to methods of making the copolymers, blends of the copolymers with other polymers and articles made from all of the above. The novel copolymers exhibit improved toughness, adhesion and good processability. In addition, films made from the resin and blends incorporating the resin exhibit improved optical and tear properties, making them particularly suitable for use in applications such as trash can liners, laminated films, oriented shrink films and bags, outer packaging Film and heavy duty transport bags, especially blown film applications. Background technique [0002] Heterogeneous polymers of ethylene copolymerized or interpolymerized with at least one unsaturated comonom...
