Abstract From the Canadian patent

The polymerization of certain alpha-olefins in a gas phase involves the problem of agglomeration of the product into particles disadvantageous from the viewpoint of its handling. In the present invention this problem has been solved by means of a new type of process for the homo- or copolymerization of alpha-olefins. In the process the catalyst system is pretreated by contacting and reacting a transition-metal compound which is solid or on a solid carrier with an organoaluminum compound, and possibly an electron donor, in a liquid medium, and by drying the thus formed reaction product to produce a solid catalyst system.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 3, 1989 and granted September 21, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 3, 2009.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 3, 2011.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
