BP isn't the first to pursue mixed metallocene and Ziegler catalyst. Quantum gave a technical paper at the MetCon conference in Houston in May, which reported the development of supported, hybrid metallocene-Ziegler catalyst to make HDPE and LLDPE.

XM-series elastomers boast higher performance than Tafmer resin modifiers produced with Ziegler catalysts. For example, when blended with PP for the heat-seal layer of PP films, XM elastomers have been shown to allow sealing at 20[degrees]C (36[degrees]F) lower temperature than previous Tafmer grades.
