I wonder if polymerisation of ethylene is possible at low pressure when you use metallocene catalysts? Can somebody give me some hints or websites where I can look.
Thank you
Is polyethylene poymerisation possible with metallocene catalyst at low pressure ?

Search Google using terms like "ethylene pressure metallocene", and your question will be answered.

Only LDPE is polymerized at high pressure in a free radical process. HPDE and LLDPE made from either conventional Zeiglar-Natta or metallocene catalysts are polymerized at ambient or very slight pressure.
