POLYETHYLENE MOLDING COMPOSITION FOR PRODUCING BLOWN FILMS HAVING IMPROVED PROCESSABILITY

摘要

The invention relates to a polyethylene molding composition having a multimodal molar mass distribution particularly suitable for blow molding films having a thickness in the range from 8 to 200 mum. The molding composition has a density at a temperature of 23° C. in the range from 0.953 to 0.960 g/cm³ and an MFR_190/5 of the final product after extrusion in the range from 0.10 to 0.50 dg/min. The composition comprises from 30 to 60% by weight of a first ethylene polymer fraction made of a homopolymer A having a first molecular weight, from 22 to 40% by weight of a second ethylene polymer fraction made of a further homopolymer or first copolymer B of ethylene and at least one first comonomer from the group of olefins having from 4 to 8 carbon atoms, the first copolymer B having a second molecular weight higher than the first molecular weight, and from 10 to 30% by weight of a third ethylene polymer fraction made of a second copolymer C having a third molecular weight higher than the second molecular weight. The molding composition of the invention allows to produce thin films having improved processability without impairing the mechanical properties.
