FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: copolymer of ethylene and a (C3-C18) α-olefin comonomer has density of 0.900-0.940 g/cm3, falling dart impact strength (F) satisfying the correlation with Vicat softening point as expressed by formulae (1) and (2), where V is Vicat softening point measured according to ASTM D 1525; and F is falling dart impact strength. The ethylene copolymer having improved impact properties is applicable to film, injection, compound, sheet, rotational, pipe or blow moulding.
EFFECT: producing ethylene copolymers having excellent processability and high impact strength owing to high rigidity.
