High Density Polyethylene Compositions With Exceptional Physical Properties
Provided herein are polyethylene compositions with unimodal molecular weight distribution exhibiting an excellent balance of physical properties. The polyethylene compositions may have density of 0.935 to 0.975 g/cm.sup.3 and Melt Index (I.sub.2.16) of 0.1 to 1 g/10 min. Polyethylene compositions of certain embodiments may exhibit environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR, 10% Igepal, ASTM D1693 Cond. B) within the range from 45 to 80 hours, and/or (ESCR, 100% igepal, ASTM D1693 Cond. B) within the range from 70 to 250 hours. Such ESCR outperforms other unimodal resins of similar melt index and density, approaching ESCR performance of more expensive and complex resins with bimodal molecular weight distribution. The polyethylene compositions of certain embodiments may have two distinct crystalline fractions as shown by temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF).
