1. An artificial turf filament formed from a formulation comprising:
90 to 98 weight percent based on a total weight of the formulation of an ethylene-based polymer having a density 0.900 g/c to 0.955 g/cc and a melt index (I2) of 0.1 g/10 min to 20 g/10 min as measured according to ASTM D1238 (at 190 C, 2.16 kg),
from 0 to 2.5 weight percent based on the total weight the formulation of a first polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 300,000 g/mol; and
from 0 to 2.5 weight percent based on the total weight of the formulation of a second polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 17,000 g/mol, wherein each Mn is measured by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC); and
wherein the sum of the amounts of the first and second polydimethylsiloxanes is from 0.5 to 2.5 weight percent based on a total weight of the formulation.
