  • Publication number: 20150175827
    Abstract: A low density polyethylene (LDPE) made in a tubular reactor has improved stretch-ratio and melt strength properties after being blended with a small amount (1-25 weight percent of the blend) of a high density polyethylene (HDPE). The blends are useful as extrusion coating compositions.
