Abstract

This invention relates to a polyethylene composition, and films therefrom, comprising at least 65 wt % ethylene derived units and from 0.1 to 35 wt % of C3-C12 olefin comonomer derived units, where the polyethylene composition has: a) an RCI,m of less than 85 kg/mol; b) a Tw1−Tw2 value of from −15 to −40° C.; and c) an Mw1/Mw2 value of less than 1.5 where the film has a) a heat seal initiation temperature of X ° C. or less at 5 N of force, where X=0.0015×Y(psi)+62.6 (where Y is the average 1% Secant modulus ((MD+TD)/2)) of the film; b) a dart drop impact of 300 g/mil or more; c) an MD Elmendorf tear of 230 g or more; and d) average 1% Secant modulus ((MD+TD)/2) of 20,000 psi or more.
