New metallocene catalysts are used in the preparation of new plastics, including new methods for the polymerization of alkenes such as ethylene and propylene. |
The growth in the PP catalyst industry is anticipated to come from advanced metallocene and single site catalysts. |
The polymer has metallocene moieties as constituents of the polymer structure. |
Metallocene catalysts allow for control of tacticity in polyolefins, making it possible to synthesize materials with a wide range of properties from a single monomer. |
Cast films of a metallocene Linear Low Density Polyethylene have been cold-drawn in the machine direction in two sequential steps to form ultra-oriented films. |
Metallocene catalysts are more flexible in forming polyolefins than other catalysts such as Ziegler-Natta catalysts. |
