High density polyethylene and articles made therefrom
First Claim
1. A bottle prepared from a multimodal polyethylene possessing a density from 0. 940 to 0.965 g/cm3, and an I21 from 4 to 20 dg/min, and comprising the following ethylene copolymers:
- (a) a low molecular weight ethylene copolymer having a weight average molecular weight from 5,000 amu to 50,000 amu and having a short chain branching index from 2.5 to 4.5; and
(b) a high molecular weight ethylene copolymer having a weight average molecular weight from 60,000 amu to 800,000 amu and having a short chain branching index from 1 to 2.5.

Abstract
Articles such as, for example, pipes or bottles, prepared from multimodal polyethylenes possessing a density from 0.940 to 0.965 g/cm3, and an I21 from 4 to 20 dg/min, and comprising a low molecular weight ethylene copolymer having a weight average molecular weight from 5,000 amu to 50,000 amu; and a high molecular weight ethylene copolymer having a weight average molecular weight from 60,000 amu to 800,000 amu, both components having a desirable balance of short chain branching making the multimodal polyethylene suitable for films, pipes, rotomolding applications and blow molding applications.
