A
prepolymer catalyst component for
olefin polymerization, characterized in that it comprises: (a) a
solid catalyst component comprising Ti, Mg, and a
halogen, and a bidentate
electron donor compound (BE), wherein the amount of the bidentate
electron donor compound is such that the (BE) / Ti
molar ratio ranges from 0 to 0.3; and (b) an
ethylene (co)
polymer, wherein the amount of the
ethylene (co)
polymer ranges from 0.1 to no more than 30 g per g of the
solid catalyst component, and wherein the
intrinsic viscosity measured in tetrahydronaphthalene at 135 °C is at least 3.0 dL / g; the
prepolymer catalyst component also exhibits a
porosity of 0.1 to 1 cm² as measured by the mercury method. 3 Within the range of / g, the prepolymerized catalyst exhibits high morphological stability and produces a small amount of fine particles.
