Metallocene polymers

Europe s first commercial metallocene-catalysed PP was launched by Targor, the joint venture between BASF and Hoechst (now Basell), with the trade name of Metocene. Exxon Mobil (Achieve) and BP have also produced grades of metallocene-catalysed PP.

Narrow molecular weight distribution, which is characteristic of metallocene-based polyethylene (Fig. 7), causes processing difficulty in certain applications due to increased melt pressure, reduced melt strength, and melt fracture [14,15]. This problem can be overcome by blending the metallocene polymer with other prod-...

Other block copolymers which are useful are based on polyesters, polyurethanes, and ethylene-propylene. The first two have been discussed in other sections and the ethylene-propylene blocks will be discussed below in the subsection Metallocene Polymers. ...
