Bimodal Polyolefins via Catalyst and Process Technology
Advances to be described at MetCon2004 (May 13-14 in Houston, TX)
The appeal of bimodal molecular weight polyolefins, with their
attractive performance and processing properties, is driving current
R&D efforts in catalyst systems and reactor process technologies.
Approaches have included multiple catalyst systems and multi-metal
catalysts in single reactors as well as sequenced (cascading) reactors.
At MetCon2004, the most current and commercially studied options
will be discussed alongside entirely new approaches.
Dr. Rainer Kolb of Univation Technologies will present the latest
results on broad orthogonal composition distribution (BOCD) LLDPE
resins, now in the pre-commercial stage. Prof. Dr. Gunter Weickert
of the University of Twente (NL) will describe an internal loop
gas phase reactor which features reactor zones capable of achieving
specific resin properties, still in the academic stage.
In order to hear these presentations, plus updates on catalyst
systems, cocatalysts/activators and novel resin properties from
leaders in the polyolefins industry, plan to attend The Catalyst
Group Resources’ MetCon2004 (May 13-14 in Houston, TX).
This is the industry’s leading scientific/technical conference
in metallocene and single-site catalysts for polymerization and
is attended by the major catalyst suppliers, technology developers
and resin producers.
