  • Publication number: 20240174774
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a heterophasic polypropylene resin in a multistage polymerisation process in the presence of a metallocene catalyst, said process comprising: (I) in a first polymerisation step, polymerising propylene and optionally at least one C2-10 alpha olefin comonomer; and subsequently (II) in a second polymerisation step, polymerising propylene, ethylene and optionally at least one C3-10 alpha olefin comonomer, in the presence of the metallocene catalyst and polymer from step (I); wherein step (II) takes place in at least one gas phase reactor operating at a pressure of at least 26 bar. The present invention further relates to a heterophasic polypropylene resin comprising a polypropylene matrix phase (A) and an ethylene-propylene copolymer phase (B) dispersed within said polypropylene matrix phase, wherein the ethylene-propylene copolymer phase (B) is an amorphous ethylene-propylene copolymer with an intrinsic viscosity (iV) measured in decalin at 135° C.

  • Patent number: 11407886
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a heterophasic propylene polymer (HECO) comprising a) 65 to 90 wt. % of a matrix component (M) selected from a propylene homo- or random copolymer (PP); and b) 10 to 35 wt. % of an ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR), dispersed in the propylene homo- or random copolymer (PP), whereby the xylene cold soluble fraction (XCS) of the heterophasic propylene polymer (HECO) has—an ethylene content of 10.0 to 17.0 wt. %; —an intrinsic viscosity (IV), determined according to ISO 1628-1:2009, of at least 1.6 dl/g; and the xylene cold insoluble fraction (XCI) of the heterophasic propylene polymer (HECO) has 2, 1-erythro regiodefects in an amount of at least 0.4 mol % to a composition comprising the heterophasic propylene polymer (HECO), a process for its preparation and an article comprising the heterophasic propylene polymer (HECO) or the composition comprising the same.
