A polymeric resin having a density of greater than about 0.960 g/cc, a melt index of from about 1.3 g/10 min. to about 2.8 g/10 min., a zero shear viscosity of from about 1×10 4 Pa*s to about 1×10 5 Pa*s, a recoverable shear parameter of from about 220 to about 370, and a CY-a parameter of from about 0.155 to about 0.200. A polymeric resin having an initial tension defined by the equation IT≧−1.67*(MI)+b where b is 5.17 and a percent decrease in the extrusion pressure of the resin of about 30% when compared to polymer resin of similar melt index prepared with a catalyst that has not undergone an activation comprising an oxidation, reduction, oxidation sequence wherein the resin when formed into a film has a moisture vapor transmission rate of from about 0.21 g.mil/100 in 2 /day to about 0.33 g.mil/100 in 2 /day. |
