THE METHOD OF INCREASING THE STIFFNESS OF HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE WHICH COMPRISES POLYMERIZING ETHYLENE TO FORM A HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYETHYLENE HAVING A DENSITY OF AT LEAST 0.94 IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST COMPRISING A METAL ALKYL AND A TRANSITION ELEMENT COMPOUND AT A PRESSURE IN EXCESS OF 40 P.S.I.G., SEPARATING SAID POLYETHYLENE FROM THE POLYMERIZATON REACTION MIXTURE AND CONTACTING THE SEPARATED POLYETHYLENE WITH A NORMALLY LIQUID HYDORCARBON AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 40 TO ABOUT 95*C.
