An ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer having;

Ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer and a molded article therefor

A process for polymerizing ethylene at a high temperature under high pressure, which comprises contacting ethylene alone or along with an .alpha.-olefin at a temperature of 120.degree. C. or more at a pressure of 350 kg/cm.sup.2 or more with a catalyst consisting essentially of (A) a reaction product of (A1) a titanium compound having at least one titanium-nitrogen bond with (A2) an organometallic compound of an element of Groups I to III of the Periodic Table and (B) an organoaluminum compound. Said process enables the production of an ethylene polymer or copolymer having a narrow composition distribution and a high molecular weight and being excellent in weather resistance, color development, transparency, corrosiveness and mechanical properties.

Process for polymerizing ethylene at high temperature under high pressure

An ethylene-.alpha.-olefin copolymer comprising ethylene and an .alpha.-olefin having from 3 to 10 carbon atoms, the copolymer having an .alpha.-olefin content of from 1.0 to 8.0 mol %, a density of from 0.900 to 0.930 g/cm.sup.3, and a melt flow rate of from 0.1 to 100 g/10 min., the programed-temperature thermogram of said copolymer as determined with a differential scanning calorimeter after being completely melted and then gradually cooled showing an endothermic peak (a) in a range of from 75.degree. to 100.degree. C. and an endothermic peak (b) in a range of from 120.degree. to 140.degree. C., with the ratio of an endotherm at the endothermic peak (b), .DELTA.Hb, to an endotherm at the endothermic peak (a), .DELTA.Ha, i.e., .DELTA.Hb/.DELTA.Ha, being from 0.03 to 2.0. The copolymer provides a film exhibiting excellent physical properties required for packaging film.

Ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer and films obtained therefrom

A peelable protective film is disclosed, which is processed from a composition comprising 100 parts by weight of an ethylene/methyl methacrylate copolymer, from 0.01 to 0.1 part by weight of an inorganic filler, and from 0.01 to 1.0 part by weight of a slip agent. The protective film of the invention, when wrapped around articles having a tacky surface, exhibits good adhesion to the substrate and has a low peeling strength and, therefore, can be readily peeled away as required.
