CATALYSIS AND THE UNIPOL(R) PROCESS IN THE 1990S

Developments in the UNIPOL(R) process for polyethylene, FLEXOMERS(R), EPR/EPDM, and polypropylene continue to demonstrate the broad versatil ity and scope of the process. The potential of catalyst technology to provide dramatic new opportunities in the gas phase remains high. Sele ction of the appropriate catalyst with control of ligand environment a t the active site will provide the basis for improved process operatio ns and unique product opportunities.
