Abstract

Abstract Polypropylene or copolymer of propylene with another Alpha olefin is produced by polymerizing propylene or propylene together with another Alpha -olefin, at a temperature below 80* C, in the presence of a three component catalyst system consisting of TiCl3 or TiCl3.1/3AlCl3, a trialkylaluminum or dialkylaluminum halide, and polyethyleneglycol dialkylether or polyethylenethioglycol dialkylthioether, and substantially in the absence of any solvent, whereby a number of advantages can be obtained such as not only the exemption from usual drawbacks of solvent polymerization, for example, solvent loss, increase of cost necessary for solvent recovery, etc.; but also the fact that the product can be used directly to molding without removing amorphous polypropylene (APP); increase in polymerization rate; no formation of appreciable atactic polymer is the copolymerization of propylene; higher bulk density of the product; easy removal of catalyst; etc.
