Abstract
Process for the manufacture of a composition comprising ethylene polymers, in at least two polymerization reactors connected in series, according to which, in a first reactor, from 30 to 70% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition of an ethylene homopolymer (A) having a melt flow index MI,of 5 to 1000 g/10 min is formed and, in a subsequent reactor, from 30 to 70% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition of a copolymer of ethylene and of hexene (B) having a melt flow index MI,of 0.01 to 2 g/10 min is formed. The compositions obtained by this process exhibit a good compromise between the processing properties and the mechanical properties, which renders them capable of being used in the manufacture of articles shaped by extrusion and extrusion blow-molding, such as films and pipes.
