Abstract

Film formed from a polyethylene composition having a density of 948-956 kg/m 3 , a high load melt index HLMI of 7-15 and a melt storage modulus G′ at a dynamic frequency where the loss modulus G″=3000 Pa. G′(G″=3000) of 1400-1800 Pa. The composition has a value of Mz/G′(G″=3000) of at least 900 DA/PA, where Mz is z-average molecular weight.
