  • Patent number: 7247686
    Abstract: A solid cocatalyst for olefin polymerization in which an ion-containing compound comprising a cation expressed by [R4M]+, wherein the group R are each individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom and a substituted or non-substituted hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms with the exception of an aryl group; two or more groups R may form a ring by bonding with one another; at least one of the groups R is a hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms with the exception of an aryl group; and M represents nitrogen or sulfur, and a non-coordinating anion expressed by [A] said ion-containing compound is chemically bonded to a fine particulate carrier is used.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7005398
    Abstract: A catalyst is used which comprises a cocatalyst component wherein a non-coordinating ion-containing compound is chemically bonded to a fine particulate carrier, together with a metallocene compound and a specific hydrocarbon. There are provided an olefin polymerization catalyst which produces olefin polymers containing few solvent-soluble components without a wider molecular weight distribution, and which exhibits no significant reduction in activity even after storage, as well as olefin polymerization catalyst components and a method for their storage, and a process for production of propylene polymers using them.
