Ethylene polymer blends of a high molecular weight ethylene polymer, preferably an ethylene-mono-1-olefin copolymer, and a low molecular weight ethylene polymer preferably an ethylene homopolymer, both preferably with narrow molecular weight distribution and low levels of long chain branching exhibit excellent film properties and good environmental stress crack behavior superior to that expected for polyethylene of comparable density and melt flow. These resins are useful for the manufacture of film or in blow molding techniques, the production of pipes and wire coating. |
