Abstract

There is disclosed a process for the stereoregular polymerization of alpha olefins or mixtures thereof with ethylene conducted in the presence of highly active and stereospecific new catalysts. The catalysts are obtained from the reaction of a component (A) which is a particular Al-alkyl compound that is at least in part in the form of an addition and/or a substitution reaction product with an electron-donor compound free from ester groups of oxygenated organic and inorganic acids, with a component (B) which is a supported component characterized by having surface area exceeding certain values or by showing a particular X-rays spectrum, and prepared by contacting a halogenated Ti compound, preferably in the form of a complex with an electron-donor compound, with a support comprising a Mg or Mn dihalide in an active state. In the catalysts the ratio between the Ti compound expressed in Ti g-atoms and the g-moles of the electron-donor compounds is lower than 0.3.
