METALLOCENE-PRODUCED VERY LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENES

摘要

A very low density polyethylene having a density of 0.890 to 0.915 and a Dar t Drop value of at least about 450 g/mil or above is disclosed. Gas phase polymerization methods are also disclosed for making very low density linear polyolefins utilizing a metallocene catalyst, and the resulting polyolefin products. In a specific embodiment, a gas phase polymerization process is disclosed relating to the formation of a linear polyethylene having a very l ow density, e.g., ranging from 0.890 to 0.915, but with improved toughness.
