  • Patent number: 10494464
    Abstract: A process for polymerizing propylene in the presence of a polymerization catalyst by copolymerizing propylene with a comonomer selected from the group of ethylene and C4-C10 alpha-olefins in two polymerization stages. The first polymerization stage is conducted in a loop reactor and the second polymerization stage in a gas phase reactor. The polymer produced in first polymerization stage has a higher melt flow rate and a lower content of comonomer units than the final polymer mixture. The process can be operated with a high throughput and catalyst productivity.

  • Patent number: 9745397
    Abstract: A process for polymerizing propylene in the presence of a polymerization catalyst by copolymerizing propylene with a comonomer selected from the group of ethylene and C4-C10 alpha-olefins in three polymerization stages. The polymer produced in the first polymerization stage has the highest melt flow rate and the lowest content of comonomer. The polymer produced in the last polymerization stage has the lowest melt flow rate and the highest content of comonomer. The polymer composition produced by the process has good mechanical properties and can be used for making pipes. The process has a good productivity.
