Abstract: The adhesive resin composition of this invention comprises (A) 30 to 70 parts by weight of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, (B) 0 to 50 parts by weight of an ethylene/&agr;-olefin copolymer having an ethylene content of 30 to 95 mole % and a degree of crystallinity by X-ray of not higher than 40%, (C) 0 to 50 parts by weight of a modified ethylene/&agr;-olefin copolymer having an ethylene content of 30 to 95 mole % and a degree of crystallinity by X-ray of not higher than 40%, (D) 0 to 30 parts by weight of modified polyethylene, (E) 1 to 20 parts by weight of a tackifier and (F) 1 to 20 parts by weight of a styrene polymer, characterized in that (B)+(C)=15 to 60 parts by weight, (C)+(D)≧2 parts by weight, and (A)/[(B)+(C)]=0.5 to 3.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polyethylene resin composition for heavy-duty packaging bag, which has a specific MFR, a specific density and a specific melt tension and which comprises (I) a linear low-density polyethylene resin prepared from ethylene and an .alpha.-olefin of 4 or more carbon atoms and having a specific MFR, a specific molecular weight distribution and a density of 0.900 to 0.918 g/cm.sup.3, (II) a linear medium or high-density polyethylene resin having a density of 0.935 to 0.970 g/cm.sup.3 and (III) a high-pressure low-density polyethylene resin having a density of 0.915 to 0.924 g/cm.sup.3, in a specific ratio of components. Also disclosed is a polyethylene resin film prepared from said composition. The composition is able to provide a film which is excellent in low-temperature properties such as low-temperature drop-bag strength and can be advantageously used for a heavy-duty packaging bag even in a cold district of below-freezing temperature.

Abstract: A semiconducting composition comprising(A) a random copolymer of propylene and an alpha-olefin having at least 4 carbon atoms as main constituents, which contains 50 to 87 mole % of the propylene units,(B) fine particles of carbon black, and as an optional component,(C) at least one random copolymer selected from the group consisting of a random copolymer of ethylene and a vinyl ester having 4 or 5 carbon atoms as main constituents, which contains at least about 5.4 mole % of the vinyl ester units, and a random copolymer of ethylene and an unsaturated carboxylic acid ester having 4 to 8 carbon atoms as main constituents, which contains at least 3 mole % of the unsaturated carboxylic acid ester units.The semiconducting composition or its crosslinked product is useful as an outside semiconducting layer in a power cable composed at least of a central conductor, a crosslinked polyethylene insulating layer surrounding the conductor and an outside semiconducting layer surrounding the insulating layer.
