PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING ETHYLENE POLYMERS AND USING MODIFIERS

A process for producing ethylene polymer including compressing ethylene monomer in one or more compressors to a pressure from 100000 to 300000 kPa; introducing the compressed ethylene monomer into one or more reactors; introducing a blend comprising an initiator and a modifier into the reactor (9) where the ethylene monomer polymerizes forming a reaction mixture comprising unreacted ethylene monomer and ethylene polymer; and separating the ethylene polymer from the reaction mixture.
