Abstract: A highly active supported catalyst (TiCl4-PCl3)/MgCl2-AlEt3 for ethylene-propylene copolymerization is reported. Ethylene-propylene copolymer withlow molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution has beenobtained through the addition of PCl3 ligand in the catalyst system andthe hydrogen regulation in the course of reaction. The copolymer is sui-table for viscosity index improver for lubricating oil, having rather goodoverall properties in respect of viscosity index, thickness, low temperatureviscosity, and stabilities against shearing, oxidation. heat etc..
