PROCESS FOR PREPARING A BIMODAL POLYETHYLENE PRODUCT IN A SINGLE LOOP REACTOR

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a bimodal polyethylene product in a single loop reactor, comprising polymerizing ethylene monomer and optionally one or more olefin co-monomers in the presence of a single heterogeneous polymerization catalyst consisting of a metallocene-alumoxane catalyst immobilized on a porous support wherein said metallocene comprises only one transition metal. Said polymerization catalyst consists of two physically different fractions of support particles onto which said metallocene-alumoxane catalyst is immobilized.
