Catalysts for polymerization of &agr;-olefins, process for producing &agr;-olefin polymers, novel transition metal compounds and catalyst components for polymerization of &agr;-olefin

Transition metal compounds

An ethylene polymer, which is an ethylene homopolymer or a copolymer of ethylene and an .alpha.-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, having the following properties:

Ethylene polymer

A method for polymerizing olefins which comprises using a catalyst which comprises, as the essential components, (A) a metallocene-type transition metal compound and (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of (1) an ion-exchanging layered compound other than a silicate and (2) an inorganic silicate, which is obtained by salt-treatment and/or acid-treatment and which has a water content of not higher than 1% by weight.

Method for polymerizing olefins using a novel catalyst

A catalyst for polymerizing an olefin, which comprises (A) a metallocene transition metal compound, (B) (1) an ion-exchanging layered compound other than a silicate or (2) an inorganic silicate prepared by treating a starting ion-exchanging layer compound other than a silicate or a starting silicate with a salt, an acid, or a combination thereof, said component (B) having a water content not higher than 1% by weight which is obtained by heat-dehydrating component (B) under an inert gas atmosphere or under reduced pressure, and (C) an organoaluminum compound.

Catalyst for polymerizing an olefin and method for polymerizing the

A catalyst for polymerizing an olefin which consists essentially of a product obtained by contacting (A) a metallocene-type transition metal compound, (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of clay, clay minerals, ion exchanging layered compounds, diatomaceous earth, silicates and zeolites, and (C) an organic aluminum compound.

Catalyst for polymerizing an olefin and method for producing an olefin

A highly crystalline propylene polymer composition which is obtained by preliminarily polymerizing, in the presence of a catalyst comprising a solid titanium trichloride catalyst complex containing a complexing agent and having an aluminum content of at most 0.15 by atomic ratio of aluminum to titanium and an organoaluminum compound and optionally an electron donative compound, 3-methylbutene-1 in an amount exceeding 10 g per g of the solid titanium trichloride catalyst complex and then polymerizing propylene, or propylene and other .alpha.-olefin having from 2 to 18 carbon atoms, in an amount of at least 500 g per g of the solid titanium trichloride catalyst complex, and which contains from 0.01 to 20% by weight of the 3-methylbutene-1 polymer based on the total weight of the 3-methylbutene-1 polymer-containing propylene polymer composition.

Polypropylene composition and highly transparent polypropylene film made

A method for producing an olefin polymer, which comprises polymerizing or copolymerizing an olefin in the presence of a catalyst comprising (a) a titanium-containing solid catalyst component and (b) an organic metal compound of a metal of Groups I-III of the Periodic Table, said solid catalyst component (a) being obtained by treating (A) a magnesium compound of the formula Mg(OR.sup.1).sub.n (OR.sup.2).sub.2-n wherein each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is an alkyl group, an aryl group or an aralkyl group, and n is 2.gtoreq.n.gtoreq.0, with three compounds i.e. (B) an electron donative compound, (C) a silicon compound of the formula Si(OR.sup.3).sub.4 wherein R.sup.3 is an alkyl group, an aryl group or an aralkyl group and (D) a titanium compound.
