Bimodal high density polyethylene composition for producing moulded articles comprising n- an ethylene homopolymer or an ethylene alpha-olefin copolymer which is a bimodal high density polymer (COMPONENT A) in combination with n- an alpha nucleating agent (COMPONENT B), n- a slip agent being a primary fatty acid amide, (COMPONENT C) and n- one or more additives selected from antioxidants, acid scavengers, pigments and UV-stabilisers(COMPONENT D), n nthe composition showing an increased the crystallisation temperature and a decreased coefficient of friction compared to a bimodal HDPE composition prepared with the sole use of nucleating agent and compared to the sole use of a slip agent; nand its use for producing injection moulded articles, especially caps and closures. |
