Amorphous propylene-ethylene copolymers are described herein that can include high amounts of ethylene and exhibit desirable softening points and needle penetrations. The desirable combinations of softening points and needle penetrations in these propylene-ethylene copolymers allow them to have a broad operating window. Due their broad operating window, the propylene-ethylene copolymers can be utilized in a wide array of applications and products, including hot melt adhesives.

The present invention relates to ethylene-1-hexene-1-butene terpolymer and a film including the same. The ethylene-1-hexene-1-butene terpolymer according to the present invention has an optimized range of density and melt index and includes 1-hexene and 1-butene as comonomers, and can provide a polymer showing excellent properties by regulating the content ratio of the comonomers in a certain range. Therefore, the film prepared by using the same can be usefully used because it has excellent stickiness, processibility, and falling dart impact strength which are especially suitable for stretch films.
