Abstract
The invention relates to a process for transitioning from a first continuous polymerization reaction in a gas phase reactor conducted in the presence of a first catalyst to a second polymerization reaction conducted in the presence of a second catalyst in the gas phase reactor wherein the first and second catalysts are incompatible, the process comprising: (a) discontinuing the introduction of the first catalyst into the gas phase reactor; (b) introducing an effective amount of cyclohexylamine into the reactor to at least partially deactivate the first catalyst; (c) introducing an organometallic compound into the reactor and reacting the organometallic compound with cyclohexylamine; (d) introducing a gas composition into the reactor for the second polymerization reaction and (e) introducing the second catalyst into the reactor.
