An ethylene polymer comprising a higher molecular weight component and a lower molecular weight component, wherein the ethylene polymer has a density greater than or equal to 0.955 g/cm3, a melt index (Ml) less than or equal to about 1.5 g/10 min, a ratio of high load melt index to melt index (HLMI/MI) in a range from about 40 to about 175, a maximum molecular weight (Mw) of the heavier weight component molecular weight in a range from about 650,000 to about 1,100,000 g/mol, a lower molecular weight component Mp in a range from about 40,000 to about 80,000 g/mol, and a Mw/Mn ratio in a range from about 5 to about 18 and wherein the polymer has a zero shear viscosity of greater than or equal to about 1 x 106 Paseg and an ESCR (10% Igepal) of at least 100 hours. |
