Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Multimodal polyethylene resins having improved stress crack resistance and melt strength rendering them useful for the manufacture of thick-walled pipe are produced in a process wherein the second stage of the process is a copolymerization conducted at a high temperature with a low comonomer to ethylene ratio and a low hydrogen to ethylene ratio.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

I claim: 1. A multimodal polyethylene resin, said multimodal resin comprised of: (i) a first polyethylene resin having a first molecular weight and having a density from 0.965 to 0.975 g/cm 3 and MI 2 from 50 to 400 g/10 min and (ii) a second copolymer resin comprising lower density ethylene-C 3-8 α-olefin copolymer resin having a second molecular weight wherein the second molecular weight is higher than the first molecular weight, wherein said multimodal resin having a den…
