Summary: In this paper, a mathematical model describing olefin polymerization with metallocene catalysts is presented. It is an improvement of a previous model, the “particle growth model” (PGM) proposed by, among others, one of the authors of the present work and derives from the so‐called “multigrane model” (MGM). The main differences between this work and others is a more sophisticated approach to fragmentation with respect to the MGM. Additionally, there is a more specific modeling for the unfragmented core with respect to the PGM. The numerical results obtained by the model are compared with experimental data. The results of this work allow to extend the PGM to catalysts with lower activity. The importance of those catalysts depends on the fact that high activity catalysts could bring, in some cases, too poor polymer morphology.
