| abstract |
A method for processing a polyolefin composition into a film is disclosed, the method including contacting a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) with a sufficient amount of a metal salt to reduce, for example, melt fracture, wherein the LLDPE has a molecular weight (Mw) from 50,000 g/mol to 180,000 g/mol, a molecular weight distribution from 1.5 to 3.0, and a melt index ratio from 15 to 25, and melt processing the LLDPE and the metal salt to form the film. Polyolefin compositions processed using metal salts are also disclosed. |
