Patent ID: 7749934

Claim:
An aqueous protected catalytic composition dispersion comprising particles of a protected catalytic composition and a transport agent dispersed in an aqueous medium, wherein said protected catalytic composition comprises a) a protective substance; b) an organometallic catalyst component; and b) optionally a fugitive substance; wherein said protective substance is a polymer selected from poly(non-polar olefins), poly(polar olefins), poly[(polar-olefin)-(non-polar olefins)] and combinations thereof; wherein the polymer is fully saturated; wherein the polymer has i) a crystallinity at 25° C. of 0 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of said protective substance; ii) a number average molecular weight of at least 1,000 g/mole and no more than 100,000 g/mole; iii) a water solubility at 25° C. of 0 to 150 millimoles of monomer present, as polymerized units, in said polymer/liter of water; and iv) a viscosity of at least 1 centipoise and no more than 1,000,000 centipoise at 25° C.; wherein said fugitive substance is miscible with said protective substance and has a boiling point at 101 kPa of at least −165° C. and no more than 80° C.; wherein said protected catalytic composition has a viscosity of at least 1 centipoise and no more than 10,000 centipoise at 25° C.; wherein said protective substance is a fully saturated polymer; wherein the organometallic catalyst component is water sensitive; wherein the protective substance protects the organometallic catalyst component from decomposition upon exposure of the protected catalytic composition to water; and, wherein the transport agent is a cyclodextrin.
