Abstract:
The instant invention provides a polyolefin composition, a catalyst composition, and a method of producing the same. The method for polymerizing one or more polyolefins according to the present invention comprises the steps of: (1) selecting a first olefin monomer and optionally one or more alpha-olefin comonomers; (2) selecting one or more catalyst systems comprising one or more procatalysts comprising a first metal selected from the group consisting of Ti, V, Hf, Zr, and combinations or mixture two or more thereof, one or more cocatalysts comprising Al, and one or more self-limiting agents (SLA) selected from the group consisting of polyether, polyester, and combinations or mixtures thereof; wherein the ratio of said SLA to said first metal (SLA:first metal) is from 0.1:1 to 30:1; (3) polymerizing said first olefin monomer and optionally one or more alpha-olefin comonomers in the presence of said one or more catalyst systems via a slurry polymerization process or gas-phase polymerization process in one or more reactors; (4) thereby producing one or more olefin-based polymers; (5) wherein said catalyst system has a loss of least 85 percent of catalyst activity when the temperature is increased from 85 to 110° C.
