Abstract

In the invention a catalyst composition intended for the polymerization of olefins has been provided, which has been prepared by bringing together magnesium chloride, a lower alcohol, a titanium compound and an ester of phthalic acid. The procatalyst composition is active and stereospecific and it simultaneously has a titanium and phthalic acid content as low as possible. These good properties have been achieved by carrying out a transesterification between the lower alcohol and the ester of the phthalic acid, whereby the alkoxy group of the phthalic acid comprises at least five carbon atoms.
