Abstract
Abstract Ziegler catalytic system formed of an organometallic compound of a metal of Group I, II or III of the Periodic System in combination with a transition metal compound supported on a carrier. The carrier is prepared by reacting magnesium chloride with an aliphatic alcohol and a fluorine-containing compound at 100°-200° C. to obtain an active complex comprising 2-15 wt. % of fluorine and 0.4-11 wt. % of alcoholic hydroxyl groups. The catalytic system may be used for the polymerization of alpha-olefins.
