The present invention provides resins for use as a sealant layer in a multilayer film, multilayer films, and packages formed from such films. In one aspect, a resin for use as a sealant layer in a multilayer film comprises (a) 10 to 30 weight percent low density polyethylene based on the total weight of the resin; (b) 60 weight percent or more of a random copolymer polypropylene based on the total weight of the resin; and (c) 5 to 25 weight percent of a crystalline block copolymer composite (CBC) comprising: i) a crystalline ethylene based polymer (CEP) comprising at least 90 mol % polymerized ethylene; ii) an alpha-olefin-based crystalline polymer (CAOP); and iii) a block copolymer comprising (1) a crystalline ethylene block (CEB) comprising at least 90 mol % polymerized ethylene and (2) a crystalline alpha-olefin block (CAOB).

Resins, multilayer films and packages comprising the same

Artificial turf filaments formed from polyethylene are provided that can have desirable properties. In one aspect, an artificial turf filament comprises a composition comprising a first composition, wherein the first composition comprises at least one ethylene-based polymer and wherein the first composition comprises a MWCDI value greater than 0.9, and a melt index ratio (I10/I2) that meets the following equation: I10/I2&#x2265;7.0&#x2212;1.2&#xd7;log (I2).

Artificial turf filament and articles incorporating same

The present disclosure provides a linear low density polyethylene composition, tapes, fibers and filaments, artificial turfs, and method of making the same. The linear low density polyethylene composition according to the present disclosure exhibits each of the following properties: (1) a CEF fraction from 70 to 90&#xb0; C. of equal to or greater than 80% of the total CEF fractions; (2) a melt index, I, measured according to ASTM D 1238 (2.16 kg @190&#xb0; C.), in the range of equal to or greater than 2.0 g/10 min and equal to or less than 5.0 g/10 min; and (3) a melt flow ratio, I/I, of equal to or less than 6.7.

Artificial turfs and method of making the same

An ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer composition having a density from 0.935 to 0.955 g/cc; a ratio of weight average molecular weight to number average molecular weight, Mw/Mn, of from 3 to 10; a z-average molecular weight, Mz, from 200 kg/mol to 500 kg/mol; and a PENT value of greater than 500 hours at 80&#xb0; C. and 2.4 MPa; wherein when the composition is formed into a monolayer pipe the pipe has a pipe hydrostatic strength of greater than 100 hours at 20&#xb0; C. and 12.0 MPa. Also provided is a pipe or pipe fitting comprising the ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer composition.
