  • Patent number: 11236189
    Abstract: A solid catalyst component for polymerization of olefins is disclosed which can produce a polymer having low stickiness (tackiness) of polymer particles, excellent flowability, and favorable particle size distribution. The solid catalyst component for polymerization of olefins includes titanium, magnesium, a halogen atom and an internal electron donor, wherein the solid catalyst component has a multimodal pore volume distribution measured by a mercury intrusion method and has one or more peak tops in each of a pore radius range from 0.002 ?m to 1 ?m and a pore radius range from larger than 1 ?m to 30 ?m or smaller, and a ratio represented by pore volume V1 derived from pores in the radius range from 0.002 ?m to 1 ?m/pore volume V2 derived from pores in the radius range from larger than 1 ?m to 30 ?m or smaller is 0.30 to 0.65.

  • Patent number: 9683059
    Abstract: A solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization makes it possible to polymerize an olefin with high polymerization activity when used for an olefin polymerization catalyst, and produce an olefin polymer having a low fine powder content, a low coarse powder content, and a low volatile organic compound (VOC) content in high yield. The solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization is produced by suspending (a) a dialkoxymagnesium, and (b) at least one alcohol selected from ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, isopropanol, isobutanol, and t-butanol, in an inert organic solvent so that the total amount of the alcohol is 0.5 to 1.5 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the dialkoxymagnesium, to prepare a suspension, and bringing (c) an internal electron donor and (d) a titanium halide compound into contact with the suspension.

  • Publication number: 20050054773
    Abstract: A propylene block copolymer with a high proportion of ethylene-propylene copolymer particles (rubber component) well dispersed in a propylene polymer exhibiting well-balanced rigidity and impact resistance can be obtained by using a solid catalyst for polymerization of olefins comprising (a) a solid catalyst component with controlled morphology, comprising magnesium, titanium, and a halogen atom, having an average particle diameter, specific surface area, and pore volume in a specific range, and having a pore size distribution in which an cumulative pore volume with a pore size of 100 ? or less is more than 50%, (b) an organoaluminum compound, and (c) an organosilicon compound. The block copolymer is very useful particularly for the application of vehicle parts such as a bumper and parts for household electric appliances.
