Abstract
A catalyst for the production of an ethylene polymer comprising a specific trivalent alkyl chromium compound, an inorganic oxide solid and optionally an organoaluminum compound (first catalyst), a catalyst for the production of an ethylene polymer comprising the specific trivalent alkyl chromium compound, a specific tetravalent alkyl chromium compound and an inorganic oxide solid (second catalyst) and a process for producing an ethylene polymer using those catalysts. The first catalyst of the present invention does not cause deterioration with the passage of time, is stable to heat and light, has greatly improved activity and can efficiently produce an ethylene copolymer with &agr;-olefin. The second catalyst of the present invention can efficiently produce an ethylene polymer having low molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution suitable for use in injection molding or an ethylene polymer having excellent balance between rigidity and ESCR and also excellent moldability suitable for use in blow molding or film molding.
