Abstract

Abstract A novel catalyst for producing crystalline poly alpha-olefins in excellent yields which coproduces substantially zero percent of low-molecular-weight and amorphous polymers is herein described. This novel catalyst is useful in polymerization techniques which use a solvent or those in which condensed monomer is the liquid phase or those in which polymerization is accomplished using monomer substantially in the vapor phase.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 40 words
A composition useful for the polymerization of propylene to highly crystalline polypropylene made by combining a sulfide of a bis-(trialkyl)-tin radical wherein the alkyl groups contain between one and six carbon atoms with a dialkylaluminum halide and activated titanium trichloride.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 40 words
A composition useful for the polymerization of propylene to highly crystalline polypropylene made by combining a sulfide of a bis-(trialkyl)-tin radical wherein the alkyl groups contain between one and six carbon atoms with a dialkylaluminum halide and activated titanium trichloride.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said sulfide is bis-(tributyl)tin sulfide and the dialkylaluminum halide is diethylaluminum chloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 62 words
A composition useful for the polymerization of propylene to highly crystalline polypropylene made by combining a sulfide of a bis-(tributyl)-tin radical wherein the alkyl groups contain between one and six carbon atoms and 2,6lutidine-N-oxide with a dialkylaluminum halide and activated titanium trichloride wherein the amount of said 2,6-lutidine-N-oxide runs between about 5 and about 15 mol percent of the dialkylaluminum halide used.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 62 words
A composition useful for the polymerization of propylene to highly crystalline polypropylene made by combining a sulfide of a bis-(tributyl)-tin radical wherein the alkyl groups contain between one and six carbon atoms and 2,6lutidine-N-oxide with a dialkylaluminum halide and activated titanium trichloride wherein the amount of said 2,6-lutidine-N-oxide runs between about 5 and about 15 mol percent of the dialkylaluminum halide used.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 18 words
The composition of claim 3 wherein said sulfide is bis-(tributyl)tin sulfide and the dialkylaluminum halide is diethylaluminum chloride.
