/Linear Low Density Polyethylene For Film Applications
Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to catalyst systems, polyethylene compositions, and uses of such compositions in, e.g., films. In an embodiment is provided a film that includes a polyethylene composition, comprising: ethylene and a C3-C40 olefin comonomer, the polyethylene composition having at least 75 wt % ethylene content and from 0 wt % to 25 wt % of a C3-C40 olefin comonomer content based upon the total weight of the composition as determined by GPC-IR5-LS-VIS, the film having: an average of MD and TD 1% secant modulus of 42,000 psi or greater as determined by ASTM D-882, and a Dart Drop Impact of greater than 400 g/mil, as determined by ASTM D1709. In another embodiment is provided a process for producing a polyethylene composition, comprising: introducing, under first polymerization conditions, ethylene and a C3-C40 alpha-olefin to a catalyst system in a reactor, the catalyst system comprising a first catalyst compound, a second catalyst compound, and an activator; and forming a polyethylene composition.
