Abstract

Olefin polymerization catalysts the procatalyst component of which comprises a transition-metal compound on a magnesium chloride support material are known to all. Now the procatalyst component has been improved by incorporating a manganese (II) halide into it at a rate of at minimum approx. 0.1% and at maximum approx. 50% of the total molar amount of magnesium chloride and manganese (II) halide. The new polymerization catalyst has, among other things, the excellent special property that it yields a polyolefin with a broad molecular weight distribution.
