Abstract: An anti-twist water-saving permeable hose is provided. A wall of the permeable hose has two curved support portions and two permeable portions connected between the two support portions. The permeable portions are mated with the support portions to form a flat chamber. The permeable portions have a curvature greater than that of the support portions. The support portions have a hardness value greater than that of the permeable portions, so that the support portions and the permeable portions are still able to cooperate with each other to form the chamber when the permeable hose is bent. Thus, the permeable hose does not twist to ensure its service life.

Abstract: A method of forming a finished film comprising extruding a molten polyethylene comprising a diene terpolymer modifier through a die opening to form a film, wherein the diene-terpolymer modifier is a terpolymer comprising ethylene-derived units, C3 to C10 ?-olefin derived units, and diene-derived units; causing the film to progress in a direction away from the die opening; cooling the film at a distance from the die opening, the distance adjusted to allow relaxation of the molten polyethylene prior to solidification and/or crystallization upon cooling; and isolating a finished film therefrom. Desirably, the polyethylene is a linear low density polyethylene, and the die and cooling is suitable for forming a blown film.
