Polypropylene catalysts are used to convert propylene to polypropylene in a polymerization reaction. The different types of polypropylene catalysts include Ziegler–Natta and metallocene. The former is preferred as it is cost-effective and provides good morphology control during polymerization. It is a heterogeneous catalyst consisting of a transition metal and an organometallic co-catalyst.
