1. A film made of linear low-density polyethylene, which polyethylene comprises
(i) a low molecular weight component with a melt flow rate MFR2 of 100 to 400 g/10 min and a density of 945 to 953 kg/m3, and
(ii) a high molecular weight component having a higher molecular weight, a lower melt flow rate and a lower density than the low molecular weight component (i), so that the polymer composition comprises from 41 to 48% by weight of the low molecular weight component (i), and from 59 to 52% by weight of the high molecular weight component (ii), and the composition has a melt flow rate MFR2 in the range 0.4 to 1.0 g/10 min and a density of 918 to 925 kg/m3, wherein said film has no gels having a size greater than 0.4 mm.
