Abstract
An olefin, particularly alpha-olefin, polymerization catalyst composition, supported on a refractory oxide support comprises two chromium specie: (1) CrO3 or any chromium compound calcinable to CrO3 ; and (2) at least one silylchromate compound. The composition is prepared by sequentially depositing specie (1) and (2) onto the same support.
