Disclosed herein are processes for preparing procatalyst compositions and polymers, i.e., propylene-based polymers, produced therefrom. The present procatalyst compositions improve catalyst selectivity and also increase the bulk density of the formant polymer.

Enhanced procatalyst composition and process

Disclosed herein are catalyst compositions and polymers, i.e., propylene-based polymers, produced therefrom. The present catalyst compositions include an internal electron donor with a compounded alkoxyalkyl ester and optionally a mixed external electron donor. The present catalyst compositions improve catalyst selectivity, improve catalyst activity, and/or improve hydrogen response. Propylene-based polymer produced from the present catalyst composition has a melt flow rate greater than 10 g/10 min.

Catalyst composition with alkoxyalkyl ester internal electron donor and polymer from same

Disclosed herein are processes for preparing procatalyst compositions with an internal electron donor containing greater than 4.5 wt % of a compounded alkoxyalkyl ester. Also disclosed are catalyst compositions containing the procatalyst composition and polymers, i.e., propylene-based polymers, produced therefrom. The present procatalyst compositions improve catalyst selectivity, catalyst activity, procatalyst morphology and polymer particle morphology, and improve hydrogen response during olefin polymerization.

Process for producing procatalyst composition with alkoxyalkyl ester internal electron donor and product

Disclosed are procatalyst compositions having an internal electron donor which includes a silyl glutarate and optionally an electron donor component. Ziegler-Natta catalyst compositions containing the present procatalyst compositions exhibit strong activity and produce propylene-based olefins with high isotacticity.
