Abstract

A process including contacting one or more monomers, at least one catalyst system, and at least two condensing agents under polymerizable conditions to produce a polyolefin polymer is provided where the vapor pressure of the condensing agents is ±4 bara of the optimum vapor pressure given by the formula: optimum vapor pressure=614−716*D+2.338*P+3.603*ln(MI), where the optimum vapor pressure has units (bara), D is the polyolefin polymer density with units (g/cc), P is the polymerization condition pressure with units (barg), and MI is the polyolefin polymer melt index with units (g/10 min). The invention also relates to a process where at least three condensing agents are used.
