Lummus Novolen Technology GmbH is actively carrying out research in the field of Ziegler-Natta Catalysts to support its worldwide polypropylene activities.

For the Novolen gas-phase process Novolen currently offers Ziegler-Natta Catalyst systems that are fully proven in commercial polypropylene operations around the world. A prepolymerization step is not required in either case.

The advantageous morphology of the catalysts is replicated in the polymer powder, avoiding any operational problems within the reactor such as wall fouling or lump formation.

These catalysts are commercially used to produce the complete polypropylene product range required in today’s markets. The product slate covers the range from high-stiffness homopolymers to super-high impact copolymers including a wide range of random copolymers.
