Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing propylene polymer compositions in at least two-stage process wherein, in a first stage, a propylene homopolymer or a propylene copolymer comprising propylene and at least a CZ-CIO-1-alkenes other than propylene, containing at least 85% by weight of propylene, is prepared by polymerization and, in a second stage, ethylene and at least a comonomer selected from propylene and C4-C,o1alkenes are polymerized to give an ethylene polymer, comprising at least 90% by weight of ethylene, wherein the amount of the ethylene polymer in the propylene polymer composition ranges from 10 to 50% by weight and the propylene polymer composition has a melt flow rate MFR, in accordance with ISO 1133 at 230° C. and 2.16 kg, of from 2 to 50 g/10 min.

Abstract: Olefin polymer composition comprising (by weight, unless otherwise specified): A) 60-95% of a propylene homopolymer or copoloymer having a Polydispersity Index (P.I.) value of from 4.6 to 10 and a content of isotactic pentads (mmmm), measured by 13C NMR on the fraction insoluble in xylene at 25° C., higher than 98 molar, B) 5-40% of a copolymer of ethylene containing from 40% to 70% of propylene or C4-C10 ?-olefins) or of combinations thereof, and optionally minor proportions of a diene; said composition having a Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation (TREF) profile, obtained by fractionation in xylene and collection of fractions at temperatures of 40° C., 80° C. and 90° C., in which the ethylene content Y of the fraction collected at 90° C. satisfies the following relation (1): Y??0.8+0.035X+0.0091X2 wherein X is the ethylene content of the fraction collected at 40° C. and both X and Y are expressed in percent by weight, and a value of intrinsic viscosity [?] of the fraction soluble in xylene at 25° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to highly flowable propylene block copolymers that comprise 50 to 80 wt.-% of a propylene homopolymer and 10 to 70 wt.-% of a propylene copolymer having 5 to 50 wt.-% of a C2–C8 alk-1-ene polymerized into it that is different from propylene, and that are obtainable from the gaseous phase by a two-step polymerization by means of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst system. In a first polymerization step, the propylene is polymerized at a pressure of 10 to 50 bar, a temperature of 50 to 100° C. and an average dwelling time of the reaction mixture of 0.3 to 5 hours in the presence of at least 2.0% by volume, based on the total volume, of hydrogen. The propylene homopolymer obtained in said first polymerization step is transferred together with the Ziegler-Natta catalyst system into an intermediate container, expanded for 0.01 to 5 minutes to less than 5 bar and maintained at a temperature of 10 to 80° C.

Abstract: Moldings which have been produced by thermoplastic forming from a polypropylene molding composition which comprises polypropylene or ethylene/propylene copolymers and polyvinyl butyral of the formula ##STR1## have considerable advantages over moldings of a polypropylene molding composition without PVB, since they have a higher surface tension and can therefore be coated, printed on, written on and laminated without problems without further pretreatment of the surface.
