Abstract

Abstract ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE There are disclosed new catalyst-forming components obtained by reacting at least the following substance: (a) a halogenated Ti compound containing at least one Ti-halogen bond; (b1) a support an essential constituent of which is a mixture of an oxygenated Mg compound with an ad-duct between a Mg dihalide and at least one elec-tron-donor compound and/or with the product of de composition of said adduct containing Mg dihalide; and/or (b2) the product obtained by treating and oxygenated Mg compound with an electron-donor compound. Also disclosed are catalysts prepared from said new ca-talyst-forming components, as is use of the catalysts in the po-lymerization of olefins, more particularly olefins CH2=CHR in which R is a alkyl or aryl radical having 1-8 carbon atoms, of mixtures of said olefins and of mixtures thereof with ethylene.
