Metallocenes are the very effective metal catalyst that combines an organic framework with an active metal. Commercial metallocene catalysts generally use tow cyclopentadiene anions for the organic component, sandwiching the metal cation between them.

Metallocene Catalyst also is known as single-site catalysts because they have only one active site per catalyst particle, which are all identical.

• Like Ziegler‐Natta catalysts, allows control over PE structure (branching) and polymer tacticity
• Synthesis of ultra-high MW polyethylene
• High activity and ability to make coatings due to homogeneous nature H Advantages
• Single‐site catalyst – achieve low MW distributions (PDI<2)
• A wide variety of metallocene polyethylene can be produced with very different properties ranging from very soft with low meting point to high melting point with good heat resistance.
