Grela 2nd Generation_CAS:502964-52-5

The Grela 2nd Generation Catalyst (CAS 502964-52-5) is a high-performance catalyst developed in recent years, primarily used in olefin polymerization reactions (e.g., polyethylene and polypropylene production). It serves as a replacement for traditional Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) catalysts and certain metallocene catalysts, particularly excelling in improving polymerization efficiency, stereoregularity, and copolymerization performance.

I. Applications of GRELA 2nd Generation Catalyst

1.Polyolefin Production

Mainly used in industrial-scale production of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and isotactic polypropylene (iPP).

Enables precise control over polymer molecular weight distribution, branching, and stereoselectivity, making it suitable for high-end plastics (e.g., transparent packaging materials, high-impact automotive components).

2.Comonomer Incorporation

Exhibits higher activity for α-olefin copolymerization (e.g., 1-butene, 1-hexene), producing copolymers with superior mechanical properties.

3.Energy-Efficient Processes

Can operate at lower temperatures/pressures in some cases, reducing energy consumption.

II. Comparative Analysis with Alternatives

1. Comparison with Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) Catalysts

Parameter	GRELA 2nd Gen Catalyst	Traditional Z-N Catalyst
Activity	Higher (improved yield per metal center)	Lower, requires excess cocatalyst (e.g., AlEt₃)
Stereoselectivity	Excellent (isotacticity >99%)	Requires external donors, less selective
Copolymerization	Efficient long-chain α-olefin incorporation	Uneven comonomer distribution, blocky structures
Product Purity	Low metal residue, no need for deashing	Requires post-treatment to remove residues
Cost	Higher (proprietary technology)	Low-cost, mature industrial process

2. Comparison with Metallocene Catalysts

Parameter	GRELA 2nd Gen Catalyst	Metallocene Catalysts
Structural Flexibility	Tunable ligands but somewhat limited	Highly customizable (e.g., Cp ligands)
Polar Monomer Tolerance	Some systems tolerate polar monomers	Generally sensitive to polar impurities
Process Compatibility	Adapts to existing Z-N equipment	Requires strict oxygen/moisture-free conditions
Cost	Lower than metallocenes	Expensive (requires MAO cocatalyst)

III. Key Advantages

High Activity & Selectivity: Single-site characteristics minimize side reactions, ensuring product uniformity.

Eco-Friendliness: Low metal residues, compliant with food/medical-grade material standards.

Process Adaptability: Balances metallocene performance with Z-N cost efficiency.
