Abstract

This invention relates to a process for making a catalyst in which a metallocene is included in the synthesis of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst and a process for using the catalyst in the polymerization of olefins, specifically, propylene, to produce a polymer product with broad polydisperisty. The catalyst may be synthesized by: PA1 1) selecting a solid component comprising a magnesium dialkoxide; PA1 2) adding a chlorinating agent; PA1 3) adding a titanating agent; PA1 4) adding a metallocene prior to step 2), after step 2), prior to step 3) or after step 3) and PA1 5) adding an aluminum alkyl cocatalyst.
