  • Processes for transitioning between metallocene and Ziegler-Natta polymerization catalysts
    Patent number: 6949612
    Abstract: Processes for transitioning among polymerization catalyst systems, preferably catalyst systems that are incompatible with each other. In particular, the processes relate to transitioning from olefin polymerizations utilizing metallocene catalyst systems to olefin polymerizations utilizing traditional Ziegler-Natta catalyst systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2003
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2005
    Assignee: Univation Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Agapios Kyriacos Agapiou, Robert Olds Hagerty, F. David Hussein, Michael Elroy Muhle, Richard B. Pannell, Kathryn Ann Russell, Robert Lynn Santana, X. Simon Zhang

  • Method for making supported catalyst systems and catalyst systems therefrom
    Patent number: 5721184
    Abstract: Catalyst systems and methods for supporting catalysts and their components, particularly metallocene catalyst components, are provided. The method involves techniques for evenly distributing a small volume of catalyst component over and among a porous support material. Such even distribution is thought to result in reduced fouling.
    Type: Grant
