Ethylene and optional comonomers are polymerized in the presence of an
organozinc compound and a catalyst system to produce an ethylene polymer.
The catalyst system comprises a bridged indenoindolyl Group 3-10
transition metal complex and an activator. The organozinc compound is
used in an amount effective to increase the polymer bulk density compared
with that observed in the absence of the organozinc compound. The
organozinc compound can also narrow the particle size distribution of the
polymer and the wt. % of polyolefin chunks produced. The operability of
processes utilizing bridged indenoindolyl metal complexes is enhanced
while maintaining desirably high polyolefin molecular weights.
