Abstract
Abstract This invention is generally directed toward a supported catalyst system useful for polymerizing olefins. The method for supporting the catalyst of the invention provides for a supported bulky ligand transition metal catalyst which when utilized in a polymerization process substantially reduces the reactor fouling and sheeting particularly in a gas phase polymerization process.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
46 words
A method for producing a supported catalyst system, said method comprising the steps of: (1) contacting a porous carrier with at least one metallocene; and (2) adding alumoxane that, after its initial formation, has been hydrolyzed with a hydrolyzing agent without the prior addition of alkylaluminum.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
46 words
A method for producing a supported catalyst system, said method comprising the steps of: (1) contacting a porous carrier with at least one metallocene; and (2) adding alumoxane that, after its initial formation, has been hydrolyzed with a hydrolyzing agent without the prior addition of alkylaluminum.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the alumoxane has been hydrolyzed in an amount such that the following equation is satisfied: HA/OM is equal to about 1.5 (A-0.08) wherein A is the molar ratio of alkylaluminum from which the alumoxane is initially formed to the total metal content of the alumoxane initially formed which would include unreacted alkylaluminum; HA is the number of moles of hydrolyzing agent and OM is the number of moles of alkylaluminum remaining after initial formation of alumoxane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the alumoxane is methylalumoxane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the hydrolyzing agent is water.
