POLYETHYLENE COMPOSITION COMPRISING LLDPE AND RUBBER

摘要

An improved polyethylene composition is disclosed. The composition comprises linear low density polyethylene (an ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer) and a synthetic rubber. In one embodiment the composition includes a synthetic rubber reacted with a carboxylic acid. The polyethylene compositions are particularly useful in environments requiring stress crack resistance, such as in coverings of electrical wire, cables, steel wires, pipes, and similar uses.
