Polyethylene compositions and methods of making and using same

A polyolefin having a density of greater than about 0.930 g/mL which when extruded at a temperature in the range of from about 590° F. to about 645° F. and then coated onto a substrate at a rate of from about 300 ft/min to about 1000 ft/min has an edge weave of from about 0 in/side to about 2.5 in/side, a neck-in of less than about 3.0 in/side, and short chain branching comprising ethyl moieties, butyl moieties, hexyl moieties, 4-methylpentyl moieties, octyl moieties or combinations thereof.

A polyolefin having a density of from about 0.89 g/mL to about 0.98 g/mL which when extruded at a temperature in the range of from about 590° F. to about 645° F. and then coated onto a substrate at a rate of from about 300 ft/min to about 1000 ft/min has an edge weave of from about 0 in/side to about 2.5 in/side and a neck-in of less than about 3.0 in/side wherein the polyolefin has short chain branching comprising ethyl groups, butyl groups, hexyl groups, 4-methylpentyl groups, octyl groups or combinations thereof.

A polyolefin having a density of from about 0.915 g/mL to about 0.975 g/mL which when extruded at a temperature in the range of from about 590° F. to about 645° F. and then coated onto a substrate at a rate of from about 300 ft/min to about 1000 ft/min has an edge weave of from about 0 in/side to about 2.5 in/side and a neck-in of less than about 3.0 in/side wherein the polyolefin has short chain branching comprising ethyl groups, butyl groups, hexyl groups, 4-methylpentyl groups, octyl groups or combinations thereof.

A polyolefin having a melt index of from about 0 g/10 min to about 50 g/10 min which when extruded at a temperature in the range of from about 590° F. to about 645° F. and then coated onto a substrate at a rate of from about 300 ft/min to about 1000 ft/min has an edge weave of from about 0 in/side to about 2.5 in/side and a neck-in of less than about 3.0 in/side wherein the polyolefin has short chain branching comprising C1 groups and C2+n groups where n is an even number.
