Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present technology relates to a method of introducing a supported antistatic compound that does not comprise a transition-metal-based catalyst component for use in an olefin polymerization reactor. In some embodiments, the methods disclosed herein avoid the formation of polymer agglomerates in the reactor and minimize potentially negative effects on catalyst yield.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An olefin polymerization process comprising the steps of: a. contacting an antistatic compound with a support in the absence of a transition-metal-based catalyst component to obtain a supported antistatic compound; b. introducing the supported antistatic compound into a polymerization reactor; and polymerizing an olefin in the polymerization reactor in the presence of a catalyst. 2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the antistatic compound is a hydroxyesters with at least two free hydroxyl groups. 3. The process of claim 2 , wherein the antistatic compound is glycerol monostearate. 4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the support is silica gel.
