Abstract: Methods of adding a catalyst to a bulk polymerization process may include mixing the catalyst with propylene to form a catalyst mixture that is substantially free of any C20 or greater hydrocarbons, feeding the catalyst mixture into a polymerization reactor, activating the catalyst mixture; and performing a polymerization on the catalyst mixture in the polymerization reactor. Polymers may be formed by polymerization processes that are substantially free of any C20 or greater hydrocarbons.

Abstract: Methods may include reacting an antistatic agent with at least one alkylaluminum to form an antistatic complex and may further include feeding the antistatic complex into a polymerization process wherein the antistatic agent is an ester of a fatty acid. Methods of using an antistatic agent in a polymerization process may include feeding the antistatic agent into the polymerization process and, subsequently, reacting the antistatic agent with at least one alkylaluminum, wherein the antistatic agent with the at least one alkylaluminum gives an antistatic complex that comprises one or more reaction products between the ester of the fatty acid and the at least one alkylaluminum, wherein the one or more reaction products comprise aluminum soaps.

Abstract: A process for propylene preliminary polymerization in liquid phase that occurs in a continuous preliminary polymerization reactor may include feeding a propylene monomer and a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system having (a) a pro-catalyst having an internal electron donor comprising a substituted phenylene aromatic diester, (b) a catalyst activator and optionally (c) an external donor, into the continuous preliminary polymerization reactor, wherein the feeding is carried out without pre-contact of the pro-catalyst with the catalyst activator, and also without pre-contact of the catalyst activator with the propylene monomer before entering the continuous preliminary polymerization reactor.

Abstract: A method of forming polymerization auxiliaries for a polymerization process may include combining an antifouling agent with a killer agent to form an auxiliary composition; and contacting the auxiliary composition with an alkylaluminum. An antifouling complex may be produced by combining an antifouling agent with a killer agent to form an auxiliary composition; and contacting the auxiliary composition with an alkylaluminum.
