Catalyst and preparation thereof

The present invention relates to a process for producing a solid Ziegler-Natta catalyst component in the form of solid particles having a median particle size (D50.sub.vol) of 5 to 500 m and the process comprising steps I. providing a solution of a Group 2 metal dihalide (IUPAC, Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, 2005) by dissolving a solid Group 2 metal dihalide in an alcohol mixture comprising at least a monohydric alcohol (A1) of formula ROM, where R is selected from a hydrocarbyl group of 3 to 16 C atoms and an alcohol (A2) comprising in addition to the hydroxyl group another oxygen containing functional group not being a hydroxyl group, contacting the solution of the Group 2 metal dihalide of step I with a compound in a liquid form of a transition metal of Group 4 to 10, or of a lanthanide or actinide, preferably a transition metal of Group 4 to 6 of Periodic Table (IUPAC, Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, 2005), and III. recovering the solid catalyst component, wherein the amount of Group 2 metal originating from Group 2 metal dihalide constitutes 100% of the whole amount of the Group 2 metal used in the process for producing the solid Ziegler-Natta catalyst component.

Polypropylene-based resin composition containing ultrahigh molecular weight propylene (co)polymer

A polypropylene-based resin composition contains: a component (A1) being a propylene homopolymer or a copolymer of propylene and a 30 wt % or less -olefin having 2 or 4 to 8 carbon atoms, having a intrinsic viscosity of more than 20 dl/g, as measured in a tetralin solvent at 135 C.; and a component (A2) being a polymer selected from the group consisting of (A2-1) a propylene homopolymer, (A2-2) a random copolymer of propylene and an -olefin having 2 or 4 to 8 carbon atoms, (A2-3) a block copolymer of propylene and an -olefin having 2 or 4 to 8 carbon atoms, and a combination of the (A2-1), (A2-2), and (A2-3). The resin composition has a content of the component (A1) of 0.1 to 10 wt % and a content of the component (A2) of 99.9 to 90 wt % based on the total amount of the component (A1) and the component (A2). The component (A2) has a melt flow rate (MFR) (230 C., load: 2.16 kg) of 1 to 500 g/10 min.
