Performance super high flow ethylene polymer compositions

Abstract

Super high flow ethylene polymer compositions comprising at least one linear ethylene polymer are disclosed which have improved processability for use in making thermally formed articles (e.g., thin-walled lids, cups and containers). The compositions have a processing index from about 0.005 KPoise to about 1 KPoise and are particularly useful in thermal forming processes having shear rates of at least 2,000 sec.sup.-1 (e.g., injection molding processes). The compositions can be used to make thin-walled lids and cups and have good environmental stress crack resistance and Gullwing Tear properties.
