Hexadecene‐1 was used as comonomer with ethylene in a slurry polymerization with Ziegler–Natta catalysts. Hexadecene contents remained at less than 4 wt % in ethylene/hexadecene‐1 copolymers. When butene‐1 was also present in the polymerization, hexadecene‐1 contents were significantly higher. With hexadecene content of 11 wt %, the terpolymer density was 910 g/dm 3 . The effect of butene addition was significantly smaller with less than 10 carbon atoms containing α‐olefins.
