High-density polythene (HDPE) is manufactured using coordination polymerization. Which of the following catalytic systems represents the standard Ziegler-Natta catalyst used for this reaction?

Question

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The Ziegler-Natta catalyst, heavily used for the coordination polymerization of ethene to yield linear HDPE at low pressures, consists of a mixture of a trialkylaluminium (such as triethylaluminium, ) and a transition metal halide (such as titanium tetrachloride, ).
