ETHYLENE INTERPOLYMER PRODUCTS HAVING A MELT FLOW-INTRINSIC VISCOSITY INDEX (MFIVI)

This disclosure relates to ethylene interpolymer products comprising a Melt Flow-Intrinsic Viscosity Index value, MFIVI, of from ≥0.05 to ≤0.80; a first derivative of a melt flow distribution function, formula (I) of form ≥−1.85 to ≤−1.51; an unsaturation ratio, UR, of from >0.06 to ≤0.60; and a residual catalytic metal of from ≥0.03 to ≤5 ppm of hafnium. Ethylene interpolymer products comprise at least two ethylene interpolymers. Ethylene interpolymer products are characterized by a melt index (I.sub.2) from 0.3 to 500 dg/minute, a density from 0.855 to 0.975 g/cc and from 0 to 25 mole percent of one or more a-olefins. Ethylene interpolymer products have polydispersity, M.sub.w/M.sub.n, from 1.7 to 25; and CDBI.sub.50 values from 1% to 98%. These ethylene interpolymer products have utility in flexible and rigid applications.
