Abstract
In some embodiments disclosed herein are polyethylene composition including a first polyethylene which is an ethylene copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of from 70,000 to 250,000 and a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of <2.3, a second polyethylene which is an ethylene copolymer or homopolymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than 75,000 and a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of <2.3, a third polyethylene which is an ethylene copolymer or homopolymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than 75,000 and a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of <2.3, and a fourth polyethylene which is an ethylene copolymer or homopolymer having a weight average molecular weight of from 100,000 to 250,000 and a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of >2.3, where the first polyethylene has more short chain branching than the second polyethylene or the third polyethylene. The polyethylene composition may have a soluble fraction in a CEF analysis of at least 7.5 weight percent. Film made from the polyethylene composition may have a machine direction 1% secant modulus of 200 MPa (at a film thickness of about 1 mil) and an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of ≥…
