Abstract
Abstract A polymerization catalyst for polymerizing olefins, such as ethylene and its homologs, in the form of the reaction product obtained by mixing a titanium trihalide such as titanium trichloride with an organo-metallic compound which has a reducing action on the valence of the titanium trihalide. Examples of organo-metallic compounds include organo-aluminum and -magnesium compounds such as the metal alkyls and metal alkyl halides.
