Abstract:
A process for homopolymerization or copolymerization comprising contacting propylene or a mixture of alpha-olefins having 2 to 8 carbon atoms containing a major proportion of propylene in the gas phase in at least one reaction zone, under polymerization conditions, with a catalyst system comprising (i) a solid catalyst precursor, which includes magnesium, titanium, a halogen which is chlorine, bromine, or iodine, and a polycarboxylic acid ester containing two ester groups attached to two adjacent carbon atoms wherein the two adjacent carbon atoms and the two carbonyl carbon atoms are coplanar; (ii) a hydrocarbylaluminum cocatalyst; and (iii) a silicon compound having the following formula: R a Si(OR′) b wherein R = a branched chain alkyl having 3 to 20 carbon atoms R′ = a hydrocarbyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms each R and R′ is alike or different a = an integer from 1 to 3 b = an integer from 1 to 3 a + b = 4 with the proviso that the atomic ratio of aluminum to silicon is in the range of about 0.5:1 to about 100:1 and the atomic ratio of aluminum to titanium is in the range of about 5:1 to about 300:1.

Abstract:
An improved polymerization process for making essentially nonagglomerated ethylene polymers, especially EPR polymers, based on the use of a high activity vanadium catalyst, which utilizes an alkylated metal chain transfer agent to moderate the kinetics of the polymerization reaction so as to avoid formation of an undesirable amount of agglomerated polymer.
