Abstract From the Canadian patent

Disclosed is a process for producing a styrene polymer having a syndiotactic configuration and a wide molecular weight distribution, which is characterized by using as catalyst (a) two or more kinds of titanium compounds and (b) alkylaluminoxane, in the polymerization of styrene monomers. According to the process of the present invention a, styrene polymer which is excellent in physical properties such as heat resistance because of a high syndiotacticity and also has a wide molecular weight distribution can be obtained. These styrene polymers can be suitably used as materials for various moldings including hollow molding sheet molding, and film molding.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 28, 1990 and granted February 15, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 28, 2010.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 28, 2012.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
