The present invention pertains to a continuous process and polymerization
system characterized by separate injection of catalyst and make-up feed,
an ethylene interpolymer composition characterized as having broad
molecular weight distribution (MWD) and optimized compositional
uniformity, a process for making such a compostion and a fabricated
article made from such composition. The novel composition is characterized
as having a melt flow ratio, I.sub.10 /I.sub.2, from 8 to 30, a M.sub.w
/M.sub.n of greater than 4 as determined by gel permeation chromatography,
a melt index, I.sub.2, from 0.01 to 1000 grams/10 minutes, preferably
greater that 0.1 to 10 grams/10 minutes, and a density less than 0.945
g/cm.sup.3. The novel composition exhibits good processibility and
improved toughness properties, especially excellent film tear and impact
resistance, and is particularly well-suited for use in applications such
as high performance trash can liners and heavy duty shipping bags.
