Polyethylene materials prepared using mixed ziegler-natta catalyst systems

摘要

A polyethylene may be prepared using a mixture of a silica supported catalyst and a magnesium chloride supported catalyst. By changing the ratio of the two catalysts, the polyethylene produced may have a varying bulk density and shear response. The method allows for the tuning or targeting of properties to fit a specific application, such as a blow molding or vapor barrier film.
