Abstract
Ethylene polymers are produced at pressures between 1000 and 4000 atmospheres and temperatures of from 120.degree. to 300.degree. C in a reaction zone having an 1/d ratio of from 10:1 to 20:1 while shear forces act on the reaction mixture. The ethylene is fed continuously and radially to the reaction zone at a velocity of from 2 to 20 m/sec. The average residence time of the reaction mixture in the reaction zone is from 20 to 90 seconds. The products show a broad molecular weight distribution and are particularly advantageous for use as extruded coatings.
