PROCESS FOR PREPARING AN ETHYLENIC POLYMER

摘要

A process for the preparation of an ethylene/1-butene or ethylene/1-butene/diene elastomer by slurry polymerization of the monomers in a polymerization medium consisting mainly of an excess of the 1-butene maintained in liquid form, performed in the presence of a catalyst based on a metallocene compound of Ti, Zr or Hf. This process is exempt from occurrence of reactor fouling and enables the recovery of the polymer without the use of steam as a stripping agent.
