Dual reactor polyethylene resins for food packaging - films, bags and pouches

摘要

Food packaging films, bags and pouches having excellent optical properties and heat sealability, low hexane extractables and a good balance of physical properties may be prepared from linear low density polyethylene having a melt flow ratio (I₂₁/I₂) from about 23 to about 32, prepared in a tandem dual reactor solution phase polymerization in the presence of a phosphinimine catalyst and a co-catalyst system which comprises an aluminum based co-catalyst, an ionic activator or a mixture thereof.
