<p>A process for producing terpolymers of propylene, comprising: a) feeding into a slurry reactor a reaction mixture containing 50-85 wt.% of propylene, 1-10 wt.% of ethylene, 15-40 wt.% of another C4-C8 alpha-olefin, a catalyst system maintaining olefin polymerization at said temperature conditions, and optionally hydrogen, b) polymerizing said reaction mixture at a temperature of lower than 70 °C a sufficient time to obtain a propylene terpolymer amounting to 50-99 wt.% of the end product, c) transferring said reaction mixture into a gas phase reactor operating at a pressure of higher than 5 bars, preferably higher than 10 bars, optionally adding 0-30 wt.% of ethylene, 0-10 wt.% of another C4-C8 alpha-olefin, 0-40 wt.% of propylene and optionally hydrogen, and d) continuing polymerization in said gas phase reactor for obtaining a propylene terpolymer amounting to 1-50 wt.% of the end product. The terpolymer has a melting temperature less than 135 °C, preferably less than 132 °C, and it can be used for manufacturing films having good sealing properties.</p> |
