Abstract
Disclosed herein are ethylene-based polymers generally characterized by a melt index of less than 1 g/10 min, a density from 0.93 to 0.965 g/cm3, a CY-a parameter at 190° C. of less than 0.2, an average number of short chain branches per 1000 total carbon atoms of the polymer in a molecular weight range of 400,000 to 600,000 g/mol that is greater than that in a molecular weight range of 40,000 to 60,000 g/mol, and an average number of long chain branches per 1000 total carbon atoms of the polymer in a molecular weight range of 400,000 to 600,000 g/mol that is greater than that in a molecular weight range of 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 g/mol. The ethylene polymers can be used to fabricate pipes, blown films, and blow molded products, and the ethylene polymers can be produced with a dual catalyst system containing a single atom bridged or two carbon atom bridged metallocene compound with two indenyl groups or an indenyl group and a cyclopentadienyl group, and a single atom bridged metallocene compound with a fluorenyl group and a cyclopentadienyl group with an alkenyl substituent.
