GASKETS MADE FROM ELASTIC SUBSTANTIALLY LINEAR OLEFIN POLYMERS

摘要

Gaskets comprising at least one elastic substantially linear ethylene polyme r are disclosed. The gaskets are particularly useful for sealing food and liquid containers and do not contribute to taste and/or odo r of the packaged product, which is especially useful in foodstuff applications. The substantially linear ethylene polymers have processability similar to highly branched low density polyethylene (LDPE), but the strength and toughness of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE).
