Abstract

A process to produce high melt flow propylene polymer comprises polymerizing propylene in the presence of a titanium-containing, magnesium-containing, high activity catalyst and an aluminum alkyl cocatalyst in a gas phase system which uses condensed liquid to control temperature wherein the external catalyst modifier is a tetraalkylorthosilicate, preferably tetraethylorthosilicate, at process conditions of temperature, hydrogen concentration, and Si/Mg, Al/Mg and Al/Si atomic ratios, to produce a high melt flow propylene polymer at high yield.
