Abstract

Abstract A catalyst system for the polymerization of olefins comprising: (A) a solid catalyst component containing hydrocarbyloxy groups obtained by reacting a titanium compound represented by the general formula Ti(OR 1 ) n X 3-n (wherein R 1 is a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, X is a halogen atom, and n is a number defined by 0<n≦3) with an ether compound and titanium tetrachloride in a slurry state in the presence of a magnesium halide, and (B) an organoaluminum compound.
