Ethylene random copolymers

Abstract

In accordance with the present invention, there are provided ethylene copolymers composed of structural units (a) derived from ethylene and structural units (b) derived from .alpha.-olefin of 3.about.20 carbon atoms, said ethylene copolymers having [A] a density of 0.85.about.0.92 g/cm.sup.3, [B] an intrinsic viscosity [.eta.] as measured in decalin at 135.degree. C. of 0.1.about.10 dl/g, [C] a ratio (Mw/Mn) of a weight average molecular weight (Mw) to a number average molecular weight (Mn) as measured by GPC of 1.2.about.4, and [D] a ratio (MFR.sub.10 /MFR.sub.2) of MFR.sub.10 under a load of 10 kg to MFR.sub.2 under a load of 2.16 kg at 190.degree. C. of 8.about.50, and being narrow in molecular weight distribution and excellent in flowability.
