Ziegler-Natta catalyst is used for polymerization reactions.
It's primarily used in the synthesis of polymers from 1-alkenes, such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
The catalyst typically consists of a transition metal compound (like titanium tetrachloride) and an organoaluminum compound (like triethylaluminum).
A Ziegler-Natta catalyst is used in the chemical synthesis of polythene. Polythenes are of two types: high density and low density.
We use the Ziegler-Natta catalyst to synthesise high-density polythene.
