A method of lowering MFR response of a high melt flow rate polymer producing
metallocene
catalyst is provided. The method includes contacting the metallocene catalyst with
a sufficient quantity of ,-diene monomer such that when the catalyst
composition is contacted with polymerizable reactants under suitable polymerization
conditions, the resulting polymer has an MFR rate in the range of 0.1 to 19. Hydrogen
and ethylene may also be present in the polymerization. Additionally a catalyst
composition is provided which includes a high melt flow rate polymer producing
metallocene catalyst and a sufficient quantity of ,-diene monomers
such that when the catalyst composition is contacted with a monomer under polymerization
conditions, the resulting polymer has an MFR rate in the range of 0.1 to 19.
