Abstract

A copolymer consisting essentially of ethylene and an .alpha.-olefin with 5 to 18 carbon atoms, said copolymer having PA0 (i) a density of 0.90 to 0.94 g/cm.sup.3, PA0 (ii) an intrinsic viscosity [.eta.] of 0.8 to 4.0 dl/g, PA0 (iii) a maximum melting point, determined by differential thermal analysis, of 115.degree. to 130.degree. C., and PA0 (iv) a g.sub..eta. *(=[.eta.]/[.eta.].sub.l) value of 0.05 to 0.78, in which formula [.eta.] is the intrinsic viscosity of the copolymer and [.eta.].sub.l is the intrinsic viscosity of a linear polyethylene having the same weight average molecular weight determined by the light scattering method as said copolymer.
