Abstract

A catalyst formed from selected organc aluminum compounds and a precursor composition of the formula EQU Mg.sub.m Ti.sub.1 (OR).sub.n X.sub.p [ED].sub.q wherein ED is a selected electron donor compound PA0 m is .gtoreq.0.5 to .ltoreq.56 PA0 n is 0, 1 or 2 PA0 p is .gtoreq.2 to .ltoreq.116 PA0 q is .gtoreq.2 to .ltoreq.85 PA0 R is a C.sub.1 to C.sub.14 aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical, or COR' wherein R' is a Chd 1 to C.sub.14 aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical, and PA0 X is selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, I or mixtures thereof, which catalyst is in particulate form and impregnated in a porous inert carrier material. A process for preparing such catalyst. A process for using said catalyst to readily prepared ethylene copolymers having a density of about .gtoreq.0.91 to .ltoreq.0.94 and a melt flow ratio of .gtoreq.22 to .ltoreq.32 in a low pressure gas phase process at a productivity of .gtoreq.50,000 pounds of polymer per pound of Ti. Novel polymers and molded articles are prepared.
