Titanium-Based Ziegler Catalysts for the Production of Polyethylene

Titanium-Based Ziegler Catalysts for the Production of Polyethylene 

Ethylene polymerization catalysts based on titanium as the active center are primarily used in the low-pressme manufacture of polyethylene with a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution to include both high density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). Table 2.1 summarizes a few examples of end-use applications for titanium-based polyethylene in terms of the density, molecular weight distribution and molecular weight for various applications.
