    Abstract: A heat-shrinkable film which includes an ethylene-based polymer multilayer or monolayer film and a coating on an outer surface of the ethylene-based polymer film. The ethylene-based polymer film having a single layer or a multilayer structure formed from a first layer, a second layer, and at least one inner layer between the first and second layers. The coating including polyurethane which is the polymerized reaction product of: a polyol; and an aromatic isocyanate functional prepolymer. Further, a method of unitizing polymer wrapped primary packages is provided. The method includes wrapping one or more of the primary packages with the heat-shrinkable film with the coating disposed proximal the one or more primary packages and applying thermal energy to reduce the dimensions of the heat-shrinkable film to constrain the primary package within the heat-shrinkable film. The coating serving to alleviate sticking between the heat-shrinkable film and the polymer wrapped primary package.

    Abstract: Embodiments of polyethylene formulations and articles comprising polyethylene formulations are dislcosed. The polyethylene formulation may include from 45 wt.% to 90 wt.% of an MDPE having a density of from 0.930 g/cc to 0.950 g/cc and a melt index (I2) from 0.05 g/10 min to 0.5 g/10 min; from 10 wt.% to 50 wt.% of a polyethylene composition having a density from 0.910 g/cc to 0.936 g/cc and a melt index (I2) from 0.7 g/10 min to 1.0 g/10 min; and from 0.5 wt.% to 5% of a masterbatch composition. The polyethylene composition may comprise a first polyethylene fraction area in a temperature range of 45°C to 87°C of an elution profile via improved comonomer composition distribution (iCCD) analysis method and a second polyethylene fraction area in a temperature range of 95°C to 120°C of an elution profile via iCCD.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for increasing the melt strength and/or low shear viscosity of a polyethylene resin. The method includes: a) providing a polyethylene composition including the reaction product of ethylene and optionally, one or more alpha-olefin comonomers, wherein the polyethylene composition is characterized by the following properties: a density ranging from 0.900 g/cm3 to 0.970 g/cm3, a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) ranging from 2.6 to 3.5, and from 0.10 to 0.27 vinyl groups per 1,000 total carbon atoms; b) providing a masterbatch composition including a free radical generator and a polyethylene resin, wherein the free radical generator has a half-life at 220° C. of less than 200 seconds, and a decomposition energy higher than −250 kJ/mol, and wherein the polyethylene resin has a density ranging from 0.900 g/cm3 to 0.970 g/cm3, melt index ranging from 0.01 g/10 min to 100 g/10 min; and c) reacting the polyethylene composition with the masterbatch composition to form a modified polyethylene composition.
