  • Patent number: 6582795
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a polymer composition and films manufactured from such compositions. The present polymer compositions comprise 80-99 wt-% on an essentially linear polyethylene with a component having a relatively low MW and a relatively high density, and another component having a relatively high MW and a relatively low density, said linear polyethylene having an MFR21 of at least 5 g/10 min, a maximum MFR2 of 6 g/10 min, a density of 915-945 kg/m3. Further the compositions contain 1-20 wt-% of a branched copolymer of ethylene and an acrylate monomer with 20-28 wt-% acrylate monomer units. The MFR2 of the copolymer is 0.4 to 2.0 g/10 min. Cross-laminated film materials having good mechanical properties can be manufactured from the present compositions.

  • Patent number: 4923937
    Abstract: Catalyst for polymerization of .alpha.-olefines, comprising an organoaluminum compound, an electron donor, as well as a solid catalyst component which is obtained when a compound containing magnesium reacts with a titanium halogen compound. A method for producing the catalyst is also provided. The catalyst component is manufactured by reacting with a titanium halogen compound in the presence of an internal electron donor, a solid catalyst component which has been produced by the steps of(a) reacting a magnesium alkyl compound with a chlorinating compound,(b) dissolving the chlorinated magnesium alkyl compound in alcohol, after possible washing,(c) adding into the solution, magnesium silicate which has been calcinated by heating at about 200.degree.-600.degree. C.,(d) adding the mixture obtained in step (c) into a cold medium, to precipitate the magnesium compound into and onto the magnesium silicate carrier, and(e) separating the thus-obtained solid carrier component.

  • Patent number: 4724255
    Abstract: Catalysts for polymerization and copolymerization of olefins to form polymers having a high degree of isotacticity and fast rate of crystal transformation. The catalysts embody a component made by chlorinating a magnesium alkyl with chlorine or a mixture of chlorine and alkyl chloride to form a carrier, contacting the carrier first with liquid TiCl.sub.4, then with a Lewis base, and after that at least once with TiCl.sub.4 in the absence of Lewis base.
