<p>A polyethylene blend consisting essentially of three ethylene homo- or copolymer fractions (A), (B) and (C) having distinct molecular weights: A) 10 to 50 wt% of a low molecular weight homo- or copolymer fraction with a weight average molecular weight Mw below 40 kg/mol; B) 5 to 60 wt% of a high molecular weight homo- or copolymer fraction with a weight average molecular weight Mw above 250 kg/mol and C) 10 to 70 wt% of a medium molecular weight homo- or copolymer fraction with a weight average molecular weight Mw in the range of 100 to 200 kg/mol; whereby the polyethylene blend has a single melting peak, as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).</p>
