Abstract

A new synthesis of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst uses a multi-step preparation which includes treating a soluble magnesium compound with successively stronger chlorinating-titanating reagents. The catalyst may be used in polymerization of olefins, particularly ethylene, to produce a polymer with low amount of fines, large average fluff particle size and narrow molecular weight distribution. The catalyst has high activity and good hydrogen response.
