For the Production of Impact Copolymers, the obtained Polymer is fed to a Gas-Phase Fluidized-Bed Reactor that operates in series with the Loop Reactors. (This Gas-Phase Reactor can be bypassed when Homopolymer or Random Copolymer is produced.) Ethylene, Propylene and Hydrogen are fed to this Reactor, where an Elastomer (Ethylene/Propylene Rubber) polymerizes within the Homopolymer Matrix that resulted from the First Reaction Stage. The carefully developed Pores inside the Homopolymer Particle allow the Rubber Phase to grow inside without showing the sticky nature of the Rubber to upset Operations by forming Agglomerates.
