Polyethylene with bimodal molecular weight distribution
having a good balance between mechanics and processibility
is one of polyethylene development directions. In this paper
slurry processes such as Hostalen
CX and Innovene-S for polyethylene with bimodal molecular weight distribution were explained. The advantages and disadvantages of these slurry processes were summarized for comparison
and some suggestion were given for the plant installation in China. Besides
the developments on catalyst for theses three processes were reviewed in the paper. The performance of the related catalysts was explained
suggesting that the catalyst must be suited to the related slurry process. On the development of catalyst in China
