What’s a Ziegler-Natta Catalyst?

Ziegler-Natta catalysts are effective in polymerizing hydrocarbons with double bonds. The three types are solid and titanium-supported, metallocene, and non-metallocene. They help control the tacticity of vinyl and are major catalysts used in plastic manufacturing. Karl Ziegler discovered the titanium-based catalyst, while Giulio Natta discovered the other two. A Ziegler-Natta catalyst is one of the […]
