LIQUID ADDITIVE (ATMER 163)

 To antistatic (extruder)
 To allow the preferentially distribution of the bipolymer inside the
homopolymer matrix rather than on the surface
 To decrease the residual high reactivity of polymer fines coming from
the loop reactors, that can, in some cases, lead to a plugging in the gas
phase reactor
 To protect the recycle compressor PK-4301 washing away the TEAL
from the gas stream. ( T-4301)
 Neutralize TEAL (D4607)
55
DONOR
Donor is used in conjunction with the high mileage catalyst to control
the stereospecifity of the polymer.
Produce high concentrations of isotatic polymer instead of atactic
 A small amount of atatic (2-4%) is desirable in the final product to
prevent brittleness and improve impact strength.

56
TEAL
TEAL (triethylaluminum) is used as a cocatalyst with the high mileage catalyst.
Concentrated TEAL is supplied in cylinders (or ISO-containers) under an inert
atmosphere.
TEAL (Triethylaluminum alkyl) is pyrophoric: pure or concentrated solutions of the
product will burst into flame if they come in contact with air or explode in contact
with water
Purpose: remove impurity ( H2O, O2)
