ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of producing multimodal polyolefins using at least one or more activated metallocene catalysts. The activated metallocene catalysts are used in combination in a single-process method. The method allows for the production of multimodal polyolefins of tunable composition, molecular weight and polydispersity.
