| abstract |
A polyethylene molding composition having a multimodal molecular mass distribution and comprising from 45 to 55% by weight of a low molecular weight ethylene homopolymer A, from 20 to 40% by weight of a high molecular weight copolymer B comprising ethylene and another olefin having from 4 to 8 carbon atoms and from 15 to 30% by weight of an ultrahigh molecular weight ethylene copolymer C can be prepared in the presence of a Ziegler catalyst in a three-stage process and is highly suitable for producing pipes having excellent mechanical properties. |
