The revolution in polyolefin technology started during the last decade of the 20th century continues
today at an ever-faster pace. We are talking about the metallocene and single site catalyst
based homo and copolyolefins (mPOs) with their well-defined structures and closely
controlled molecular architectures. Their capabilities to compete, on the basis of their tailored
properties against traditional polymers such as ABS, PVC, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs)
and others combined with a favorable cost structure constitutes a fertile resource for improved
materials.
