Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an artificial turf filament formed from a formulation comprising an ethylene-based polymer having a density 0.900 g/c to 0.955 g/cc and a melt index (12) of 0.1 g/10 min to 20 g/10 min as measured according to ASTM D1238 (at 190 C, 2.16 kg), and one or more polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) components having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of from 10,000 g/mol to 500,000 g/mol, wherein the Mn is measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC).

Artificial turf yarn with improved processibility and friction management

The present disclosure provides a composition. The composition contains (A) an ethylene-based polymer; and (B) a slip agent blend, the slip agent blend containing (i) from greater than 50 wt % to 99 wt % of a first polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (Mn) from 30,000 g/mol to less than 300,000 g/mol; and (ii) from 1 wt % to less than 50 wt % of a second polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (Mn) from 300,000 g/mol to 2,000,000 g/mol, based on the total weight of the slip agent blend. The present disclosure also provides a film with a layer containing said composition.

Low coefficient of friction ethylene-based compositions

The present disclosure provides a laminate. The laminate includes a first film and a second film, wherein the first film is laminated to the second film. The first film includes a sealant layer containing (A) an ethylene-based polymer; and (B) a slip agent blend containing (i) a first polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (Mn) from 30,000 g/mol to less than 300,000 g/mol; and (ii) a second polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (Mn) from 300,000 g/mol to 2,000,000 g/mol.

Low coefficient of friction laminates

A polyethylene tape, fiber, or monofilament comprising an ethylene/alpha-olefin polymer having a density greater than 0.945 g/cc, a melt index, I, from 1.2 g/10 min to 2.0 g/10 min, a melt flow ratio, I/I, between 7.0 and 9.0, and a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn, of less than 5.5.
