A polyethylene resin having a multimodal molecular weight distribution comprising at least two polyethylene fractions A and B, fraction A being substantially free of comonomer and having a lower weight average molecular weight and a higher density than fraction B, each fraction prepared in different reactors of two reactors connected in series in the presence of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system, the polyethylene resin having a density of from 0.950 to 0.965 g/cmand a melt index MI2 of from 0.5 to 5 g/10 min.

Bimodal polyethylene for injection stretch blow moulding applications

This invention covers injection stretch blow molded articles prepared from polyethylene resin having a bimodal molecular weight distribution (MWD), defined by the ratio of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the number average molecular weight (Mn), of from 2 to 20, comprising two polyethylene fractions A and B, fraction A being substantially free of comonomer and having a lower weight average molecular weight and a higher density than fraction B, each fraction prepared in different reactors of two reactors connected in series in the presence of a metallocene-containing catalyst system.

Injection stretch blow moulded articles

The invention relates to A process for the polymerization of ethylene to produce a polyethylene resin in at least two slurry loop reactors connected to each other in series, the resin having a bimodal molecular weight distribution, a molecular weight distribution MWD of at least 7.0, an HLMI of from 1 to 100 g/10 min, and a density of from 0.935 to 0.960 g/cm,

Bimodal polyethylene

The invention relates to A process for the polymerisation of ethylene to produce a polyethylene resin in at least two slurry loop reactors connected to each other in series, the resin having a bimodal molecular weight distribution, a molecular weight distribution MWD of at least 7.0, an HLMI of from 1 to 100 g/10 min, and a density of from 0.935 to 0.960 g/cm,

Blow moulded articles of bimodal polyethylene

The invention relates to A process for the polymerization of ethylene to produce a polyethylene resin in at least two slurry loop reactors connected to each other in series, the resin having a bimodal molecular weight distribution, a molecular weight distribution MWD of at least 7.0, an HLMI of from 1 to 100 g/10 min, and a density of from 0.935 to 0.960 g/cm, wherein in one reactor 30 to 47 wt % based on the total weight of the polyethylene resin of a high molecular weight (HMW) polyethylene fraction is produced having an HL275 of from 0.05 to 1.8 g/10 min (the equivalent of HLMI of from 0.01 to 1.56 g/10 min), a density of from 0.925 to 0.942 g/cmand an MWD of at least 5.0, and in the other reactor a low molecular weight (LMW) polyethylene fraction is produced having an HLMI of from 10 to 1500 g/10 min and a density of from 0.960 to 0.975 g/cm, in the presence of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system.

Bimodal polyethylene for blow-moulding applications

This invention discloses the production and use of a polyethylene composition comprising a metallocene-produced linear low density polyethylene and a multi modal high density polyethylene prepared from either a Ziegler-Natta or a metallocene catalyst system. The resulting polyethylene composition is suitable for preparing articles having improved environmental stress crack resistance, rigidity, contact transparency, gloss as well as good processing capabilities.
