Hydrocracking catalyst

A hydrocracking process for converting a hydrocarbon feedstock into lower boiling materials, wherein said process comprises:

• contacting said hydrocarbon feedstock and hydrogen at an elevated temperature in the range of from 250 to 500° C. and an elevated pressure in the range of from 3×106 to 3×107 Pa with a hydrocracking catalyst within a hydrocracking reaction vessel having a reactor inlet and a reactor outlet, wherein said hydrocracking catalyst comprises, a Group VIII metal;
• a Group VIB metal;
• and a carrier, wherein said carrier comprises an amorphous binder in an amount in the range of from 30% wt to 98% wt based on the total weight of said carrier, a zeolite Y, having a silica-to-alumina molar ratio of at least 10, in an amount in the range of from 2% to 70% wt based on the total weight of said carrier, and a second zeolite component that is either zeolite beta or ZSM-5 in an amount up to 20% wt based on the total weight of said carrier, and wherein the infrared spectrum of said carrier has peaks at 3690 cm−1, 3630 cm−1, and 3565 cm−1, and no peak at 3600 cm−1.
