Abstract:
The present invention relates to a high-pressure radical ethylene polymerization process in which ethylene is polymerized with a polyunsaturated olefin comprising at least 6 carbon atoms and at least two non-conjugated double bonds of which at least one is terminal, characterized in that a polyunsaturated olefin grade is used as a starting material which yields a percentage of less than 6.3% in the zero conversion test or which has a decomposition temperature as measured by DSC of 130° C. or more.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a low density polyethylene having a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn which is greater than 15, a storage modulus G′ (5 kPa) which is above 3000 and a vinylidene content which is at least 15/100k C, compositions, a process for production of the low density polyethylene, a continuous ethylene polymerization method for introducing vinylidene in a low density polyethylene, a method for an extrusion coating process, an article, e.g. an extrusion article, and use in extrusion coating.
