20100324237 | POLYMERIZATION OF OLEFINS - Mixtures of different polyolefins may be made by direct, preferably simultaneous, polymerization of one or more polymerizable olefins using two or more transition metal containing active polymerization catalyst systems, at least one of which contains cobalt or iron complexed with selected ligands. The polyolefin products may have polymers that vary in molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, crystallinity, or other factors, and are useful as molding resins and for films. | 12-23-2010 |
20110130528 | POLYMERIZATION OF OLEFINS - Mixtures of different polyolefins may be made by direct, preferably simultaneous, polymerization of one or more polymerizable olefins using two or more transition metal containing active polymerization catalyst systems, at least one of which contains cobalt or iron complexed with selected ligands. The polyolefin products may have polymers that vary in molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, crystallinity, or other factors, and are useful as molding resins and for films. | 06-02-2011 |
20120157686 | a-OLEFIN MANUFACTURING PROCESS - In an α-olefin manufacturing process by the oligomerization of ethylene using an iron complex of a diimine of a 2,6-diacylpyridine or a 2,6-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, in which certain substituted iminoaryl groups are present, less higher molecular weight unwanted products are produced when the diimine and/or its precursor arylamine does not have impurities with substitution on a second ortho position to the imino group. This leads to less fouling of the process apparatus and higher yields of desired α-olefins. | 06-21-2012 |
20120271014 | OLEFIN POLYMERIZATION PROCESS - A polymerization process for copolymerizing ethylene and a series of α-olefins to form a branched polyethylene, in which the series of α-olefins is generated in-situ by an ethylene oligomerization catalyst, is improved if the oligomerization catalyst has a Schulz-Flory constant of about 0.30 to about 0.55. This makes very little higher molecular weight α-olefins, which allows for easy removal of unpolymerized α-olefins from the polyolefin product. | 10-25-2012 |
20120302809 | PRODUCTION OF ALPHA-OLEFINS - Higher molecular weight linear α-olefins are produced by the oligomerization of ethylene using certain iron complexes of 2,6-diacylpyridinedimimines or 2,6-pyridinedicarboxaldehydedimines as catalysts. These iron complexes are more sterically hindered than those heretofore used. The resulting α-olefins are useful as comonomers in olefin polymerizations. | 11-29-2012 |
20120309915 | ETHYLENE POLYMERIZATION PROCESS AND POLYOLEFIN - A polymerization to form a branched polyolefin, in which polymerization an ethylene copolymerization catalyst and an ethylene oligomerization catalyst form a series of ethylene oligomers that are α-olefins are both present, gives an improved polyethylene if the oligomerization catalyst has a to relatively high Schulz-Flory constant. | 12-06-2012 |
20120309916 | OLEFIN POLYMERIZATION PROCESS - An ethylene oligomerization catalyst that oligmerizes ethylene to a series of α-olefins and that has a Schulz-Flory constant of about 0.75 to 0.995 produces a stream of α-olefins. This stream is then added to a vessel containing ethylene and a copolymerization catalyst that copolymerizes ethylene and α-olefins. The resulting branched polyethylene often has good processing properties. The good processing is presumably due to the presence of “long chain branching”. Such polymers are useful for films and other packaging materials, and for molding resins for molding parts such as industrial, automotive or electrical parts. | 12-06-2012 |
20130012659 | LUBRICANT COMPONENT - A lubricant component is a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefins made by forming a series of α-olefins by oligomerization of ethylene using an oligomerization catalyst, and then copolymerizing the α-olefins and ethylene using a transition metalcontaining polymerization catalyst. The copolymer, which often has a high Viscosity Index, may be used, for example, in a lubricant as the base oil or a viscosity index modifier. The polyolefin may also be a component of a lubricant additive, meant to be added to an already formulated lubricant to improve the lubricant's properties. | 01-10-2013 |
