Abstract
A process is provided to produce polyolefins having a multimodal molecular weight distribution at the molecular level by contacting at least one mono-1-olefin in a polymerization zone, under polymerization conditions, with two different types of supported chromium catalyst systems. The first catalyst system comprises a chromium oxide catalyst system which comprises chromium oxide supported on an inorganic oxide. The second catalyst system comprises a chromocene catalyst system which comprises chromocene supported on an inorganic oxide. The resultant, recovered polymer has a multimodal, or at least a bimodal, molecular weight distribution.
