Abstract From the Canadian patent

Ethylene polymers having a Polydispersity Index of about 2 to about 4; a melt index, MI, and Relaxation Spectrum Index RSI, such, that (RSI)(MI0.6) is about 2.5 to about 6.5; c) a Crystallizable Chain Length Distribution Index, Lw/Ln, of about 1.0 to about 9; and d) a density, ?, and a percent haze when fabricated into films such that the percent haze is less than 370? - 330, are provided. These ethylene polymers advantageously combine superior clarity and toughness with low extractables and enhanced processing ease.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 29, 1996 and granted February 1, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 29, 2016.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 29, 2018.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
