Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a process for the production of highly amorphous propylene homopolymers or propylene-ethylene copolymers which comprises polymerizing propylene or a mixture of propylene and ethylene at a temperature of 130°C-190°C and a pressure of about 300-5000 psig (2,068-34,475 kPa) in the presence of a catalyst system which comprises (a) titanium halide on a support comprising magnesium chloride and (b) an aluminum alkyl.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 72 words
Process for the production of highly amorphous propylene homopolymers or propylene-ethylene copolymers characterized by polymerizing propylene or a mixture of propylene and ethylene at a temperature of 130°C-190°C and a pressure of 300-5000 psig (2,068-34,475 kPa) in the presence of a catalytic amount of a catalyst system which comprises (a) titanium halide on a support comprising magnesium chloride and (b) an aluminum alkyl in which the alkyl groups contain 2-8 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 72 words
Process for the production of highly amorphous propylene homopolymers or propylene-ethylene copolymers characterized by polymerizing propylene or a mixture of propylene and ethylene at a temperature of 130°C-190°C and a pressure of 300-5000 psig (2,068-34,475 kPa) in the presence of a catalytic amount of a catalyst system which comprises (a) titanium halide on a support comprising magnesium chloride and (b) an aluminum alkyl in which the alkyl groups contain 2-8 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 12 words
Process according to Claim 1 wherein said titanium halide is titanium tetrachloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
Process according to Claim 1 wherein said titanium halide is titanium tetrachloride and said support contains magnesium chloride as a major ingredient.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
Process according to Claim 1 wherein said aluminum alkyl is aluminum triethyl or aluminum triisobutyl.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 33 words
