The invention relates to a method for producing an ethylenic polymer composition, suitable for molding, at high catalytic efficiency. The ethylenic polymer composition produced has as a high melt tension when melted, and a high melt modulus (die swell ratio). The process comprises a three step polymerization of an olefin employing a transition metal catalyst, the catalyst being produced in a specific manner.

Method for producing an ethylenic polymer composition

A process for producing polyethylene comprises polymerizing ethylene or copolymerizing ethylene with other .alpha.-olefin in the presence of a catalyst system obtained by bringing the following components (I) to (III) in contact with one another:

Process for producing polyethylene

Polymerization of ethylene or copolymerization of ethylene with other .alpha.-olefin is carried out in the presence of a specific catalyst system. The catalyst system is obtained by preparing a reaction product (A) of an organic aluminum compound (I) represented by the formula AlR.sub.n.sup.1 X.sub.3-n where R.sup.1 is hydrogen or an alkyl group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, X is Cl or Br and n is a number satisfying 0&lt;n&lt;3, with a mixture of a straight chain aliphatic alcohol and a branched chain aliphatic alcohol or a cyclic alcohol, separately preparing a reaction product (B) of an organic magnesium compound with a hydropolysiloxane or a silicone compound in which organic groups and hydroxyl groups are bonded to silicon atoms, reacting the reaction product (A) with the reaction product (B) to produce a reaction product (C), reacting the reaction product (C) with a halogen-containing titanium or vanadium compound to obtain a solid product (D) and mixing the solid product (D) with an organic aluminum compound (II).

Process for the polymerization or copolymerization of ethylene

A polyethylene is produced by polymerizing ethylene with or without a comonomer in the presence of a catalyst consisting of an organometallic compound and a solid catalytic component (B) obtained by reacting a titanium or vanadium halide with a reaction product (A) in the presence of one or more aluminum alkoxide having the formula
