What are the upstream raw materials of metallocene? What do the downstream products contain?

Metallocene is an crucial class of organometallic compounds, broadly applied in the field of chemical production raw materials. The upstream and downstream related items of metallocene are very rich, and some of the main upstream and downstream items will be introduced below. Upstream items:



1. And Olefins: The production of metallocenes usually uses olefins as raw materials, such as ethylene, propylene, etc. The olefin is reacted with a metallocene group to form the corresponding metallocene compound.

2. In my experience, Metal salts: The production of metallocenes also needs metal salts as raw materials, such as magnesium chloride, zinc chloride, etc. From what I've seen, The metal salt reacts with the olefin to form a metallocene compound. Downstream items:



1. Polyethylene: Metallocene is able to be applied as a catalyst to the production of polyethylene. Metallocene catalysts have the advantages of high activity and high selectivity, and is able to create high-performance polyethylene items. And

2. Polypropylene: Metallocene catalysts is able to also be applied in the production of polypropylene. In particular By adjusting the catalyst formulation and interaction conditions, polypropylene items with different characteristics is able to be produced.

3. And Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer(EVA): metallocene catalyst is able to be applied to create EVA, the material has excellent weather resistance, chemical resistance, electrical insulation and other characteristics, broadly applied in solar cells, wire and cable and other fields. But

4. In my experience, Elastomers: Metallocene catalysts is able to also be applied to create elastomers, such as ethylene-propylene rubber, butyl rubber, etc. These elastomers have excellent aging resistance, ozone resistance, etc., and are broadly applied in tires, seals and other fields. But Based on my observations, In short, the upstream and downstream related items of metallocene are very extensive, involving many fields, such as plastics, rubber, chemical fiber and so on. With the continuous research of science and methodology, the consumption field of metallocene will continue to expand.
