Ethylene-based polymers formed by high pressure free radical polymerizations

A process to form an ethylene-based polymer, as described herein, in a tubular reactor system comprising at least three ethylene-based feeds, and at least four reaction zones, and where the weight ratio of "the ethylene-based feed to the second zone (EBF2)" to "the ethylene-based feed...

Zusammenfassung:A process to form an ethylene-based polymer, as described herein, in a tubular reactor system comprising at least three ethylene-based feeds, and at least four reaction zones, and where the weight ratio of "the ethylene-based feed to the second zone (EBF2)" to "the ethylene-based feed to the first zone (EBF1)," is from 0.50 to 1.10; and the weight ratio of "the ethylene-based feed to the third zone (EBF3)" to "the ethylene-based feed to the first zone (EBF1)," is from 0.40 to 2.50; in each zone, the polymerization takes place at a start temperature≥135° C.; and (a) for three or more ethylene based feeds, the peak temperatures in the first and the second zones, are each from 200° C. to 250° C.; and/or (b) for four or more ethylene based feeds, the peak temperatures in the first, the second and the third zones, are each from 200° C. to 250° C.; and the differential in peak temperatures of the first three zones (TP1, TP2, TP3) meets at least one relationship described herein.
