The present disclosure is generally directed to polyolefin polymers, such as polypropylene homopolymers, and propylene-ethylene copolymers that have improved flow properties. In one embodiment, the polymers can be produced using a solid catalyst component that includes a) dissolving a halide-containing magnesium compound in a mixture, the mixture including an epoxy compound, an organic phosphorus compound, and a hydrocarbon solvent to form a homogenous solution; b) treating the homogenous solution with an organosilicon compound during or after the dissolving step; c) treating the homogenous solution with a first titanium compound in the presence of a first non-phthalate electron donor, and an organosilicon compound, to form a solid precipitate; and d) treating the solid precipitate with a second titanium compound in the presence of a second non-phthalate electron donor to form the solid catalyst component, where the process is free of carboxylic acids and anhydrides.
A polymer composition comprising propylene-ethylene copolymer particles including propylene as a primary monomer, the propylene-ethylene copolymer particles comprising ethylene in an amount greater than 3% by weight, the propylene-ethylene copolymer exhibiting a melt flow rate according to ASTM D1238 at 230° C. and a weight of 2.16 kg, of about 50 g/10 min to about 500 g/10 min, and wherein the propylene-ethylene copolymer particles exhibit a Cup Test Index of 2 or less.
A polymer composition comprising particles of polypropylene homopolymer, polypropylene copolymer, or a mixture thereof, wherein the particles have a D50 particle size of about 150 microns to about 3000 microns, the particles exhibit an aspect ratio, B/L3, of greater than about 0.6, and wherein the polymer composition exhibits a bulk density of greater than 0.415 g/cm3;
