Abstract: A continuous process for pre-contacting coordination polymerization catalyst components with each other before they are introduced into a polymerization reactor at 130 degrees Fahrenheit to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, where the activated coordination catalyst is contacted with at least one monomer to produce amorphous poly alpha olefin (APAO). Embodiments of the process involves blending a metallocene pre-catalyst with an organic solvent forming a metallocene pre-catalyst solution and flowing a co-catalyst mixture into the metallocene pre-catalyst solution continuously in a pre-contacting device, forming an activated metallocene catalyst. Embodiments further involve continuously injecting the activated metallocene catalyst into the heated polymerization reactor while simultaneously and continuously injecting propylene monomer and/or other alpha-olefin monomers, and hydrogen gas for molecular weight control, initiating an exothermic reaction forming a monomer-polymer-catalyst slurry.
