Abstract

Ethylene is copolymerized or interpolymerized with at least one olefinic comonomer having about 3 to 18 carbon atoms to produce linear low density polyethylene copolymers and terpolymers in a slurry process using liquid propane as the diluent. The copolymer products have desirable physical properties including relatively narrow molecular weight distributions and low elasticities.
