Abstract

This invention relates to ethylene polymers obtained using a catalyst system comprising fluorided silica, alkylalumoxane activator and at least two metallocene catalyst compounds (a bridged monocyclopentadienyl group 4 transition metal compound and a biscyclopentadientyl group 4 transition metal compound), where the fluorided support has not been calcined at a temperature of 400° C. or more, and is preferably produced using a wet mixing method, such as an aqueous method. The ethylene polymers have: 1) at least 50 mol % ethylene; 2) a reversed comonomer index, mol %, (RCI,m) of 85 or more; 3) a Comonomer Distribution Ratio-2 (CDR-2,m) of the percent comonomer at the z average molecular weight divided by the percent comonomer at the weight average molecular weight plus the number average molecular weight divided by 2 ([% comonomer at Mz]/[% comonomer at ((Mw+Mn)/2)] as determined by GPC of 2.3 or more; and 4) a density of 0.91 g/cc or more.
