Abstract

This invention relates to cast films prepared from interpolymer compositions comprising;(A) a substantially linear ethylene/&agr;-olefin interpolymer present in the composition in an amount of from about 10 to about 100% by weight based on the combined weight of Components A and B; and(B) a heterogeneous interpolymer present in the composition in an amount of from about 0 to about 90% by weight based on the combined weight of Components A and B; andwherein said interpolymer composition has an I10/I2 value of < about 10.0 and is characterized as having a viscosity at 100 rad/s and a relaxation time (&tgr;) which satisfies either of the following relationships;Log(viscosity at 100 rad/s)&lE;4.43&#8722;0.8 log(I2)orlog(&tgr;)>&#8722;1.2&#8722;1.3* log(I2)The interpolymer compositions are useful in cast stretch film manufacture with the resulting cast films having an excellent balance of strength and processability.
