An olefin polymerization catalyst system comprises a solid, hydrocarbon-insoluble, magnesium-containing, titanium-containing, electron donor-containing component; an alkyl aluminum compound; and organosilane compound selected from the group consisting of branched C.sub.3 -C.sub.10 alkyl-t-butoxydimethoxysilanes.

Silane-modified supported polyolefin catalyst to produce a broadened

An olefin polymerization catalyst system comprises a solid, hydrocarbon-insoluble, magnesium-containing, titanium-containing, electron donor-containing component; an alkyl aluminum compound; and organosilane compound selected from the group consisting of diisobutyldimethoxysilane, diisopropyldimethoxysilane, t-butyltrimethoxysilane and di-t-butyldimethoxysilane, and mixtures thereof.

Alpha-olefin polymerization catalyst system including an advantageous

A solid-hydrocarbon insoluble, alpha-olefin polymerization catalyst component with superior activity, stereospecificity and morphology characteristics, comprises the product formed by (a) complexing a magnesium alkyl composition with an ortho disubstituted hindered aromatic acid ester; (b) reacting the resulting complex with a compatible precipitation agent to form a solid component; and (c) reacting the resulting solid with a titanium(IV) compound and an electron donor compound in a suitable diluent.

Supported olefin polymerization catalyst

A catalyst system especially suited for polymerizing alpha-olefins in the gas-phase to polymers containing essentially no active chloride comprises (A) a titanium-containing component supported on a hydrocarbon-insoluble magnesium-containing compound in combination with an electron donor compound and (B) a co-catalyst comprising (a) at least one trialkylaluminum compound (b) an aromatic acid ester and (c) an unhindered secondary amine, optionally reacted with a dialkylaluminum hydride, in substantial absence of compounds containing an Al-Cl bond.
