Melt processability of LDPE was improved by blending with EVA copolymers containing 10-28% VA. Softening of modules was controlled primarily by overall VA content of the blends. Tensile necking was converted to smooth rubbery elongation by adding larger amounts of VA. Transparency was produced by adding EVA containing 10% VA and then stretching the polyblend film. These parameters give the film manufacturer wide control over processability and properties.
