摘要:
High density polyethylene (HDPE) comprising narrow rheological breadth and narrow molecular weight distribution, and methods for producing such HDPE polymer are disclosed. HDPE blown resins and films produced from the HDPE of the invention, and methods of producing such resins and films are also disclosed. The novel HDPE-derived resins of the invention possess exceptional clarity and gloss in comparison to conventional HDPE-derived resin.
摘要:
A method of processing polyethylene for use as an extruded blow molding resin to improve the properties and processability thereof is accomplished by modifying a polyethylene resin having a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) of less than about 10. The modification is carried out by the addition of a free radical initiator to the resin during extrusion of the resin to increase the rheological breadth of the polyethylene from about 10% to about 60% compared to unmodified polyethylene resin extruded under similar conditions. In another aspect of the invention, a polyethylene resin having higher melt index is processed to provide a desired final melt index by the addition of a free radical initiator where it would otherwise be necessary to utilize a resin having lower melt flow, and which is more difficult to process. Improvements in color can also be obtained.

摘要:
A new synthesis of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst uses a multi-step preparation which includes treating a soluble magnesium compound with successively stronger chlorination/titanation reagents. The catalyst may be used in polymerization of olefins, particularly ethylene, to produce a polymer with less fines, larger average fluff particle size and narrow molecular weight distribution. The catalyst has high activity and good hydrogen response.
摘要:
A Ziegler-Natta type catalyst having an improved hydrogen response provides for narrowing of the MWD of resulting polyolefins polymerized using such catalyst, with such catalyst generally made by a) contacting a soluble magnesium dialkoxide compound of the general formula Mg(OR'') 2 with a halogenating agent capable of exchanging one halogen for one alkoxide to form a reaction product A, where R'' is a hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms; b) contacting reaction product A with a first halogenating/titanating agent to form reaction product B; and c) contacting reaction product B with a second halogenating/titanating agent to form a calalyst component; wherein in step b) the halogenating/titanating agent is a blend of Ti(OPr) 4 and TiCL 4 . Catalyst components, catalysts, catalyst systems, polyolefin polymers, and methods of forming each are disclosed.

A Ziegler-Natta type catalyst providing for broadening of the MWD of resulting polyolefins polymerized using such catalyst, with such catalyst maintaining high activity and excellent fluff morphology. Generally, such catalyst is made by a) contacting a catalyst component with an organoaluminum preactivating agent, wherein the catalyst component is produced by a process comprising, i)contacting a soluble magnesium dialkoxide compound of the general formula Mg(OR'') 2 with a halogenating agent to form a reaction product A, ii) contacting reaction product A with a first halogenating/titanating agent to form reaction product B; and iii) contacting reaction product B with a second halogenating/titanating agent to form a catalyst component. The second halogenating/titanating agent comprises titanium tetrachloride, and step iii) comprises a ratio of titanium tetrachloride to magnesium compound in the range of about 0.1 to about 5. Catalyst components, catalysts, catalyst sytems, polyolefin polymers, and methods of forming each are disclosed.
