Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:A bimodal poly(ethylene-co-1-alkene) copolymer comprising a higher molecular weight poly(ethylene-co-1-alkene) copolymer component and a lower molecular weight poly(ethylene-co-1-alkene) copolymer component. The copolymer is characterized by a unique combination of features comprising, or reflected in, its component weight fraction amount, density, high load melt index, molecular weight distributions, viscoelastic properties, environmental stress-cracking resistance, and impact strength. Additional inventive embodiments include a method of making the copolymer, a formulation comprising the copolymer and at least one additive that is different than the copolymer, a method of making a manufactured article from the copolymer or formulation; the manufactured article made thereby, and use of the manufactured article.
