Abstract
Abstract Olefin polymers are made using a supported chromium oxide catalyst which is treated with a mixture of an organoboron compound and a hydrocarbyl aluminum hydrocarbyl oxide. This catalyst is capable of producing high shear response polymer and is of particular utility in the production of such polymer in a particle-form process.
