    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pipe comprising an ethylene-based polymer, wherein the ethylene-based polymer: ⋅ comprises ≥0.10 mol % of units derived from 1-hexene, with regard to the total molar quantity of polymeric units of the ethylene-based polymer; ⋅ has an Mw/Mn as determined in accordance with ASTM D6474 (2012) of ≥2.5 and ≤4.0, preferably of ≥2.5 and ≤3.4; ⋅ has a density as determined in accordance with ASTM D792 (2008) of ≥925 and ≤945 kg/m3; and ⋅ in the molecular weight range of log(Mw) between 4.0 and 5.5, has a comonomer branch content of between 2 and 15 comonomer-derived branches per 1000 carbon atoms in the polymer, as determined via 13C NMR. Such pipe provides a desirably high long-term strength, as demonstrated by its high strain hardening modulus, as well as desirably high impact strength, as demonstrated by its high Charpy impact strength. Further, such pipe may be compliant with the PE-RT requirements of ISO 22391-1 (2009). For example, such pipe may be used for containing water at temperatures in the range of 40° C. to 80°.

    Abstract: Process for producing a supported metallocene catalyst system includes: (i) preparing mixture (a) by mixing a metallocene with a cocatalyst; (ii) preparing mixture (b) by reacting an aluminium (II) with an amine (III)t;




    wherein each R6 and R10 is hydrogen or a C1-30 hydrocarbon; R7, R8, and R11 are C1-30 hydrocarbon; R9 is hydrogen or a functional moiety comprising at least one active hydrogen; (iii) providing a support material, into a reaction vessel; (iv) providing a solvent into the reaction vessel; (v) supplying mixture (a) and mixture (b) to the reaction vessel; (vi) subjecting the contents of the reaction vessel to a temperature of >60° C. for a period of >3 hrs to obtain a supported catalyst system; and (vii) removing the solvent from the supported catalyst system. Such process allows for the production of a supported metallocene catalyst system having reduced fouling in olefin polymerisation.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for transitioning from a first continuous polymerization in a gas phase reactor conducted in the presence of a metallocene catalyst to a second polymerization conducted in the presence of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst in the gas phase reactor wherein the metallocene catalyst and the Ziegler-Natta catalysts are incompatible, the process comprising: (a) discontinuing the introduction of the metallocene catalyst into the gas phase reactor; (b) introducing an effective amount of cyclohexylamine into the reactor to at least partially deactivate the metallocene catalyst; (c) introducing an organometallic compound into the reactor and reacting the organometallic compound with cyclohexylamine; (d) degas the gas composition of the reactor and build up a new composition inside the reactor for the second polymerization with the Ziegler-Natta catalyst (e) introducing the Ziegler-Natta catalyst into the reactor.
