Bimodal polyethylene compositions and blow molded bottles made therefrom
are provided. In at least one specific embodiment, the composition
includes at least one high molecular weight polyethylene component having
a molecular weight distribution (MWD) of about 6 to about 9, a short
chain branch content of less than about 2 branches per 1,000 main chain
carbons, and a Mz of about 1,100,000 or more. The composition also
includes at least one low molecular weight polyethylene component where a
ratio of weight average molecular weight of the high molecular weight
polyethylene component to weight average molecular weight of the low
molecular weight polyethylene component is about 20 or less. The
composition has a density of about 0.94 g/cc or more, an ESCR of about
600 hours or more, and a percent die swell of about 70% or more.
