Abstract
A cast film inducing a bimodal ethylene-based polymer having a high density fraction (HDF) from 3.0% to 10.0%, an I10/I2 ratio from 5.5 to 7.0, a short chain branching distribution (SCBD) less than or equal to 10° C., a density from 0.910 g/cc to 0.920 g/cc, and a melt index (I2) from 1.0 g/10 mins to 8.0 g/10 mins.
Claims17
A cast film comprising a bimodal ethylene-based polymer comprising:
- a high density fraction (HDF) from 3.0% to 10.0%, wherein the high density fraction is measured by crystallization elution fractionation (CEF) integration at temperatures from 93° C. to 119° C.;
- an I10/I2 ratio from 5.5 to 7.0, wherein I2 is a melt index when measured according to ASTM D 1238 at a load of 2.16 kg and temperature of 190° C. and I10 is a melt index when measured according to ASTM D 1238 at a load of 10 kg and temperature of 190° C.;
- a short chain branching distribution (SCBD) less than or equal to 10° C., wherein the short chain branching distribution is measured by CEF full width at half height;
- a density from 0.910 g/cc to 0.920 g/cc, wherein the density is measured in accordance with ASTM D792, Method B;
- and
- a melt index (I2) from 1.0 g/10 mins to 8.0 g/10 mins, wherein the melt index (I2) is measured in accordance to ASTM D1238 at 190° C. at 2.16 kg.
