Abstract

A method for altering the melt flow ratio (MFR) of ethylene copolymers made in a gas phase reactor using a supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst treated with a catalyst modifier. The method involves changing the amount of the catalyst modifier added to the supported Ziegler-Natta polymerization catalyst to effect changes in the MFR of the resulting polymer.
