Abstract: A polyethylene produced by the homopolymerisation of ethylene or copolymerisation of ethylene with &agr;-olefins in the presence of a catalyst, characterized in that the fraction of low molecular weight polymers having MW<5000 g/mole is lower than 12% by weight of the produced polymer, and that the produced polyethylene has a measured melt strength expressed by a haul-off (HO) value satisfying the expression: HO>K1·&eegr;0.05+K2, wherein K1 is 9.10−5 and K2 is 0.4.
