The invention relates to linear low density polyethylene from single-site
metallocene catalysts (mLLDPE), particularly suitable for injection
molded articles having superior performance in cold temperature
applications such as food storage containers. The mLLDPE is a copolymer
comprising ethylene and hexene, and may be characterized by an MI of
about 20 to 30 dg/min, most preferably about 25 dg/min, a density of
about 0.915 to about 0.922, most preferably about 0.921 gm/cc, MFR<20
and more preferably about 16 to 17, Mw/Mn<3 and more preferably
2.5-3.0, Mz/Mw<2 and more preferably about 1.7 to 1.8, and a low
amount of hexane (C6) extractables.
