Linear low density ethylene interpolymers for injection molding

Abstract

Improved injection-molded LLDPE articles, especially those having a wall thickness in the range of 0.15 mm to as much as 1.5 mm, are prepared using an LLDPE containing a sufficient amount of at least one C₅-C₁₂ 1-alkene copolymerized with the ethylene to provide a density in the range of 0.91 to 0.945 g/cc, a melt flow rate in the range of 60 to 200 g/10 minutes, and an I₁₀/I₂ ratio of 7.2 to about 18. Articles such as lids and containers are prepared having improved properties such as Environmental Stress Crack Resistance.
