Abstract: The present invention relates to catalysts systems for the polymerization of olefins CH2?CHR, wherein R is an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl radical having 1-12 carbon atoms, comprising (A) a solid catalyst component comprising Ti, Mg, and halogen (B) an aluminum alkyl compound and (C) a mono or dihalogenated hydrocarbon compound. Said catalyst systems have improved polymerization activity.

Abstract: A novel polymer composition is described comprising ethylene homopolymers and/or copolymers of ethylene with C3-C8-alpha-olefins which polymer composition has a density of from 0.940 to 0.949 g/cm3, a melt index (HLMI) according to DIN EN ISO 1133:2005, condition G at 190° C. and 21.6 kg, of from 3 to 7 g/10 min. and a Hostalen Long Chain Branching Index (HLCBI) of from 3 to 8, and which polymer composition is produced by polymerisation with one or more Ziegler catalysts in a series of at least two polymerization reactors. The new polymer composition can in particular be used for blow moulding of intermediate bulk containers.

Abstract: New ethylene polymers having broad molecular weight distribution and long-chain branching, above all at high molecular weight fractions; the polymers have strain hardening equal or higher than 1.4 (at constant elongational rate of 0.5 s?1, at 150° C.), branching index g? equal or lower than 0.9 (at Mw of 2·106 g/mol). The polymers are prepared by using a mixed catalyst system comprising a polymerization catalyst based on a late transition metal component having a tridentate ligand, and a Ziegler polymerization catalyst annealed at a temperature higher than 100° C., for a time of at least 10 minutes.
