Conventional coating compositions have the disadvantage of being insufficiently coatable and having an unsatisfactory environmental stress cracking resistance. Now a coating composition has been found which has both good coating processability and environmental stress cracking resistance. It comprises a multimodal ethylene polymer, which contains from 80 to 100% by weight of ethylene repeating units and from 0 to 20% by weight of C -C &agr;-olefin repeating units, has a density of between 0.915 g/cm and 0.955 g/cm , and is a blend of at least a first ethylene polymer having a first average molecular weight and a first molecular weight distribution and a second ethylene polymer having a second average molecular weight, which is higher than said first average molecular weight, and a second molecular weight distribution, said blend having a third average molecular weight and a third molecular weight distribution.
