A process for the preparation of a catalyst system includes the steps of
combining a support material with a first composition which includes at
least one aluminoxane in a first solvent to provide an aluminoxane loaded
support; and, contacting the aluminoxane loaded support with a second
composition which includes at least one metallocene compound, a second
solvent, and a cocatalyst, wherein the cocatalyst includes a second
portion of the at least one aluminoxane alone or in combination with an
ionic compound and/or a Lewis acid.
