Abstract:
The invention relates to a copolymer composition prepared from copolymers of propene and alpha -olefin having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, having high molecular weight, a broad molecular weight distribution and an improved comonomer distribution. The invention relates also to a process for producing the composition and the use of the composition in pipes, fittings, profiles, films and foams. The composition is a so-called reactor mixture of copolymers of said monomers comprising a first copolymer having a higher molecular weight, an alpha -olefin content of 3 to 10 wt.% and a melt flow rate MFR2 of 0,005 to 0,8, and a second copolymer having a lower molecular weight, thus the final composition has a comonomer content of 2 to 10 wt.%, a melt flow rate MFR2 of 0,05 to 2,5 wt.%, a melt flow ratio MFR10/MFR2 of 6 to 15, and the split of the copolymers in the composition between the higher molecular weight copolymer and the lower molecular weight copolymer is from 40/60 to 70/30.

Abstract:
Olefins or mixtures of olefins, particularly propene or mixtures of propene advantageously with ethene, can be polymerized using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system containing, besides a transition-metal-based procatalyst and cocatalyst which is an organometallic compound, a compound particularly suited for controlling the stereospecificity of the produced polymer. Such a compound called an external donor may also have other effects. By using an acetal derivative of an aldehyde that has two ether groups for this purpose, advantageously selected from the group of dialkoxyphenylalkanes, e.g., dimethoxyphenylpropane, a good stereospecificity of the product is attained combined with the high hydrogen sensitivity of the catalyst system, whereby the use of hydrogen as the chain transfer agent offers an easy control method of the molecular weight of the product by means of adjusting the amount of hydrogen available in the polymerization reaction. If with the acetal derivative donor is used a clearly less hydrogen sensitive donor, e.g. alkoxysilanes, much broader MWD's of the product are achieved.
