An ethylene polymer having a Polydispersity Index of at least about 3.0, a melt index, MI, and a Relaxation Spectrum Index RSI, such that (RSI)(MI) is greater than about 26 when is about 0.7 and, a Crystallizable Chain Length Distribution Index LW/Ln, less than, about 3 is provided. Such ethylene polymer has processability equivalent or superior to even conventional high pressure polyethylene at similar melt index, yet need not be made under high pressure reaction conditions.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed May 16, 1996 and granted January 2, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 16, 2016.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 16, 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.
