Title:
SOLUTION POLYMERIZATION PROCESS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002092649
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A solution polymerization process using a phosphinimine catalyst and a boron activator is conducted at a temperature of about 170 DEG C or greater in the presence of trialkyl aluminum to produce polyethylene having a comparatively broad molecular weight distribution. The polyethylene product produced by the process of this invention is desirable because it can provide enhanced "processability" in comparison to polyethylene having a narrow molecular weight distribution. The process of this invention is advantageous in comparison to prior art processes for the preparation of "broad" polyethylene which use two polymerization reactors and/or more than one polymerization catalyst.
