Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
IN THE PROCESS WHICH COMPRISES POLYMERIZING LIQUID PROPYLENE TO A NORMALLY SOLID POLYMER IN A POLYMERIZATION ZONE AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE 20 TO 90*C., AND A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE 150 TO 690 P.S.I.A., IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF A TICL3 COMPOSITION AND DIETHYL ALUMINUM CHLORIDE, SAID TICL3 COMPOSITION HAVING THE FORMULA 3TICL3.ALCL3, THE IMPROVEMENT IN WHICH THE SAID TICL3 COMPOSITION HAS A PARTICLE SIZE OF AT LEAST ABOUT 150 MICRONS WITH EXCLUSION OF PARTICLES OF A SIZE LESS THAN 150 MICRONS, WHEREBY LARGE DISCRETE PLATELETS OF POLYMER ARE PRODUCED AND FOULING IN SAID ZONE IS SUBSTANTIALLY ELIMINATED.
