- Fluorided silica-coated alumina activator-supports were prepared as follows. Bohemite was obtained from W.R. Grace & Company under the designation "Alumina A" and having a surface area of about 300 m 2 /g, a pore volume of about 1.3 mL/g, and an average particle size of about 100 microns. The alumina was first calcined in dry air at about 600 °C for approximately 6 hours, cooled to ambient temperature, and then contacted with tetraethylorthosilicate in isopropanol to equal 25 wt. % S1O2.
- silica-coated alumina was calcined at 600 °C for 3 hours.

- Examples 21 -22 were conducted by adding diethylzinc (DEZ) along with TIBA to the initial reactor charge. Unexpectedly, as shown by Table III, the dynamic rheology properties at 190 °C in FIG. 5, and the molecular weight distributions in FIG. 6, the addition of DEZ reduced the Mz and the ratio of Mw/Mn of the polymer.
