  • Publication number: 20090215972
    Abstract: A process for the polymerisation of ethylene or the copolymerisation of ethylene and alpha-olefins in the presence of a catalyst system comprising—as components (a) a transition metal compound, (b) a non-aluminoxane activator, and (c) optionally a support, comprises the use of a prepolymer prepared by contact of the catalyst components with ethylene and/or one of more alpha-olefins at a temperature in the range 60° C. to 100° C. The prepolymer may be isolated or used in situ for the polymerisation of ethylene or the copolymerisation of ethylene and alpha-olefins in particular 1-hexene. By use of the process thermal stability of the catalyst is improved leading to increased activity without any deterioration in polymer morphology.
