Abstract: Vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer latices having an inherent viscosity of not less than about 1.90 and demonstrating superior performance in the Time of Set Test and Vinyl Wetting Test are prepared by the process which comprises copolymerizing from about 60% to about 95% by weight of vinyl acetate monomer with from about 40% to about 5% by weight of ethylene monomer in an emulsified reaction medium containing:(a) at least one surface active agent in an amount of not less than about 1.0% by weight, and not more than about 2.0% by weight, of the total monomer,(b) a catalyst, and(c) a protective colloid,the total weight of the surface active agent and vinyl acetate monomer being introduced into the reaction medium in delayed increments prior to and after the commencement of copolymerization.

Abstract: Olefin polymerization catalysts are prepared by depositing an organophosphoryl chromium product and an aluminum acetyl acetonate on an inorganic support material, and heating the support material in a non-reducing atmosphere at a temperature above about 300.degree. C. up to the decomposition temperature of the support material.

Abstract: Olefins are polymerized in the presence of catalysts prepared by combining a heat activated supported organophosphoryl chromium compound with an alkyl borane which has been pretreated with hydrogen.

Abstract: Supported catalyst compositions incorporating preformed materials comprising the reaction product of organophosphorus compounds such as the organophosphates and organophosphites with chromium trioxide, wherein the organic moiety is a hydrocarbon radical, e.g., alkyl, aralkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, or the like or combinations thereof. Typical supports constitute an inorganic material of high surface area, especially a high pore volume (>1.96 cc/g) silica xerogel. Catalytically promoted polymerizations of 1-olefins proceed efficiently to products of specially adapted utility for molding, and particularly the production of blow molded articles. The polymerization activity of the catalyst compositions is promoted by heating in a dry, oxygen containing atmosphere. The catalysts are utilized alone or in conjunction with other catalytic ingredients such as organometallic and/or organo non-metallic reducing agents.

Abstract: Catalysts, especially for olefin polymerization are prepared by coating an aluminum compound on a selected high pore volume silica gel, and calcining the support at temperatures of from about 200.degree. to 2000.degree. F. The preferred catalyst is prepared with an inorganic support material as aforesaid, thereafter depositing an organophosphoryl chromium compound thereon, and activating the thus-treated support by heating in a non-reducing, preferably oxygen-containing, atmosphere at temperatures of from about 800.degree. to 2000.degree. F. The activated, supported catalyst composition may, but need not necessarily, be combined with a metallic and/or non-metallic reducing agent, to provide a catalyst system useful in the polymerization of 1-olefins.

Abstract: Supported catalyst compositions incorporating preformed materials comprising the reaction product of (1) organoborate compounds such as trialkyl borate, and (2) chromium trioxide. Typical supports constitute an inorganic material of moderate to high surface area, especially a high pore volume (greater than about 1.96 cc/g) silica xerogel. The supported catalysts are utilized alone or in conjunction with other catalytic ingredients such as organometallic and/or organo non-metallic reducing agents for the polymerization of 1-olefins.
