Abstract

The invention concerns a method for producing ethylene homopolymers or copolymers comprising at least 90 mol % of units derived from ethylene which consists in: contacting in polymerising conditions, the monomers with a catalytic system including: (a) a catalytic solid comprising a metallocene of a transition metal of groups 4 to 6 of the periodic table containing at least a cyclopentadiene ligand capable of being substituted and a support, (b) at least an organoaluminium compound selected among compounds of general formula (1): AlTx(Y&#8242;)yX&#8242;z wherein: T is a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 30 carbon atoms; Y&#8242; is a group selected among &#8212;OR&#8242;, &#8212;SR&#8242; and NR&#8242;R&#8243; with R&#8242; and R&#8243; independently representing a hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 30 carbons atoms; X&#8242; is a halogen atom: x verifies the relationship 0<x&lE;3; y verifies the relationship 0&lE;y<3; z verifies the relationship 0&lE;2<3, and x+y+z=3, and (c) at least an ionic antistatic agent.
