A process including polymerizing ethylene in the presence of a polymerization catalyst and hydrogen in a first polymerization reactor to produce a first slurry; withdrawing a first stream of the slurry from the first polymerization reactor; directing the slurry stream into a second polymerization reactor; polymerizing ethylene in the presence of the first ethylene polymer, the polymerization catalyst, and hydrogen in a second polymerization reactor to produce a second slurry; withdrawing from the second polymerization reactor a second slurry stream having a solids concentration higher than the average solids concentration of the second slurry within the second polymerization reactor; withdrawing from the second polymerization reactor a third slurry stream having a solids concentration lower than the average solids concentration of the second slurry within the second polymerization reactor; and directing at least a part of the second slurry stream into one of the first and second polymerization reactors.

Method of polymerizing olefins in slurry reactors

A multimodal ethylene copolymer with a density of at least 940 kg/mhaving an MFRin the range of 1 to 30 g/10 min and a F/&#x3bb;ratio of less than 60 cN/s; said ethylene copolymer comprising at least three components (I) an ethylene and optionally at least one C3-20 alpha olefin comonomer component forming 30 to 60 wt % of said ethylene copolymer; (II) an ethylene and optionally at least one C3-20 alpha olefin comonomer second component forming 30 to 60 wt % of said ethylene copolymer: and (III) an ethylene and optionally at least one C3-20 alpha olefin comonomer third component forming 3 to 20 wt % of said ethylene copolymer; wherein at least one of components (II) or (III) is a copolymer.
