The invention relates to a polymer comprising units derived from ethylene
having: a) a Melt Index of from 0.05 to 20 g/10 min; b) at least 10 per
1000 C-atoms of short chain branches, containing five carbon atoms or
less, and less than 3.5 mol %, of units derived from a copolymerizable
ethylenically unsaturated ester, c) a density of from 0.90 to 0.94
g/cm.sup.3, preferably 0.91 to 0.935 g/cm.sup.3, especially 0.92 to 0.93
g/cm.sup.3, and d) a relaxation time as described herein of at least 10
s. The polymer may be used for stretch hood film, preferably as a blown
film coextruded tube comprising: a) a core of the above polymer; and b) a
skin layer, on each side of the core which may be of the same or
different composition, comprising at least 60 wt % of an LLDPE having
density of 0.91 to 0.94 g/cm.sup.3.
