An ethylene interpolymer product comprises a first component with an undetectable level of long-chain branches and a second component with a detectable level of long-chain branches wherein said first component has a weight-average molecular weight higher than said second component. The ethylene interpolymer product is characterized as having (a) an Arrhenius type flow activation energy E.sub.a greater than or equal to 33 kJ/mol and less than or equal to 45 kJ/mol; and (b) a number-average relaxation time t.sub.n measured at 190° C. greater than or equal to 2 ms and less than or equal to 15 ms, wherein said number-average relaxation time is calculated using zero-shear viscosity η.sub.0 at 190° C. in kPa.Math.s and plateau modulus Formula (I) at 190° C. in MPa, according to Formula (II). Film made from the ethylene interpolymer product may be characterized by a hot-tack peak strength from about 12 N to about 20 N and a lubricated puncture resistance from about 100 J/mm to about 150 J/mm.
