Polyethylene resins having improved environmental stress crack resistance,
stiffness and impact resistance is made by a process comprising feeding both a
chromium oxide catalyst and a silyl chromium catalyst into a polymerization reactor.
The chromium oxide catalyst and the silyl chromium catalyst are on separate supports.
The chromium oxide catalyst is 25-50 weight percent and the silyl chromium catalyst
is 50-75 weight percent of the total weight of catalyst. The catalysts may be added
separately or as a single mixture.
