The present invention relates to use of optionally monosubstituted 2,2-di(tetrahydrofuryl)methanes, as internal donors in Ziegler-Natta catalysts to obtain polymers with desirable properties. The present disclosure further concerns Ziegler-Natta catalyst components comprising said optionally monosubstituted 2,2-di(tetrahydrofuryl)methanes and Ziegler-Natta catalysts for olefin polymerization comprising said Ziegler-Natta catalyst components as well as a method for preparing the same and their use in providing polyolefins.

A process for preparing a catalyst component made from or containing Mg, Ti, and at least an electron donor compound (ID), including the steps of: (a) reacting a Mg based compound with a Ti compound, having at least a Ti—Cl bond, in an amount such that the Ti/Mg molar ratio is greater than 3 and at a temperature ranging from 0 to 150° C., thereby yielding an intermediate solid catalyst component containing Mg and Ti; and (b) contacting the intermediate solid catalyst component with a gaseous stream containing the electron donor compound (ID) in a gaseous dispersing medium, thereby yielding a final solid catalyst component having an ID/Ti molar ratio ranging from 0.5:1 to 20:1.

The present disclosure relates to a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system with self-extinguishing properties suitable for olefin polymerization. The catalyst system of the present disclosure comprises a pro-catalyst, a co-catalyst, and an external donor having a mixture of a selectivity control agent and an activity control agent. The catalyst system of the present disclosure is adapted to prevent the temperature of the polymerization reaction to go beyond the softening temperature of the polymer, thereby exhibiting the self-extinguishing properties.
