  • Patent number: 5741862
    Abstract: Highly flexible propylene/ethylene copolymers having a high rubber content are obtainable by two-stage polymerization from the gas phase in an agitated fixed bed by means of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system which, in addition to a titanium-containing solid component, also contains an aluminum compound as a cocatalyst, in a first polymerization stage, propylene being polymerized at from 15 to 40 bar and from 50.degree. to 90.degree. C. and during an average residence time of the reaction mixture of from 0.5 to 5 hours and then, in a second polymerization stage, a mixture of propylene and ethylene being polymerized with the polymer discharged from the first polymerization stage, at from 5 to 30 bar, this pressure being at least 2 bar below the pressure of the first polymerization stage, and at from 60.degree. to 100.degree. C. and during an average residence time of the reaction mixture of from 0.

  • Patent number: 5344885
    Abstract: Propylene-ethylene copolymers are obtained by two-stage polymerization from the gaseous phase in an agitated fixed bed by means of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system that contains in addition to a titanium-containing solid component also an aluminum compound as co-catalyst, wherein as Ziegler-Natta catalyst system a system is used which, following the reaction of the titanium-containing solid component with the co-catalyst, is deactivated by reaction with carbon dioxide. The copolymers are used for producing fibers, films and moldings.
