Abstract
Disclosed are polyethylene blends and films. The blend comprises from 1 to 99%, based on the weight of the blend, of a medium density polyethylene (MDPE) and from 1 to 99% a polyolefin selected from the group consisting of high density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene, polybutene, and mixtures thereof. The MDPE is made by high pressure, free radical polymerization and has a density within the range of greater than 0.928 to 0.940 g/cmand an MIwithin the range of 0.1 to 1 dg/min. The shrink films made from the blend have strong contraction force and low creep.
