  • Patent number: 6143845
    Abstract: There is disclosed a process for producing a polyolefin which comprises polymerizing an olefin by the use of a catalyst comprising a specific transition metal compound, an aluminoxane and a specific magnesium compound or a catalyst comprising a specific transition metal compound, an aluminoxane, a specific magnesium compound and an organoaluminum compound. The use of the above process in polymerizing the olefin enables efficient stable production of a high molecular weight polyolefin improved in the powder morphology of the produced polymer, facilitated in the regulation of the molecular weight distribution and gifted with excellent particle shape.

  • Patent number: 5605990
    Abstract: A process for producing a polyolefin is here disclosed which comprises the step of polymerizing olefins in the presence of a catalyst comprising (A) a compound of a transition metal in the group IV of the Periodic Table, (B) an aluminoxane, (C) a compound having 2 or more aromatic rings in its molecule represented by the formulaAr.sup.1 --(YR.sub.n-2).sub.k --Ar.sup.2wherein the symbols are as defined in the specification, and if necessary, (D) an organic aluminum compound. In this process, the novel catalyst having a high polymerization activity is used, whereby the desired polyolefin can be efficiently produced.
