Abstract
Abstract Provided is a polymer composition having a melt index of 0.01 to 5.0 and a density of 0.870 to 0.940 prepared by blending 30 to 80 parts by weight of an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer having an intrinsic viscosity determined in decalin at 135° C. of 1.7 to 10 dl/g and a density not higher than 0.945 which copolymer is obtained by copolymerizing ethylene with an α-olefin of C 3 to C 12 , with 70 to 20 parts by weight of a high-pressure process polyethylene having an intrinsic viscosity determined in decalin at 135° C. of not higher than 1.3 dl/g and a density of 0.915 to 0.935.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A polymer composition having a melt index of 0.01 to 5.0 and a density of 0.880 to 0.935, said polymer composition comprising a blend of: (1) 40 to 70 parts by weight of an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer having an intrinsic viscosity determined in decalin at 135° C. in the range of from 3.5 to 8.0 dl/g and a density in the range of from 0.850 to 0.903 which copolymer is obtained by copolymerizing ethylene with an α-olefin having 4 to 12 carbon atoms in a substantially liquid solvent-free vapor phase condition and in the presence of a catalyst comprising a solid ganoaluminum compound, said solid substance containing magnesium and titanium and/or vanadium, and (2) 60 to 30 parts by weight of a high-pressure process polyethylene having an intrinsic viscosity determined in decalin at 135° C. of not higher than 1.3 dl/g and a density of 0.915 to 0.935.
