Abstract

A container comprising a polyolefin composition comprising: A) from 59 wt. % to 84 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the polyolefin composition, of a propylene homopolymer having isotactic pentads (mmmm) measured with 13 C-NMR higher than 96%, B) from 16 wt. % to 41 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the polyolefin composition, of a copolymer of propylene and ethylene, wherein the copolymer of propylene and ethylene comprises from 30 wt. % to 44 wt. %, of ethylene derived units based upon total weight of the copolymer of propylene and ethylene; the sum A)+B) being 100 wt. %; the polyolefin composition having an MFR L (Melt Flow Rate according to ISO 1133, condition L, i.e. 230° C. and 2.16 kg load) between 72 and 100 g/10 min.

Claims (17)

1. A container comprising a polyolefin composition comprising:

A) from 59 wt. % to 84 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the polyolefin composition, of a propylene homopolymer having isotactic pentads (mmmm) measured with 13 C-NMR higher than 96%,

B) from 16 wt. % to 41 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the polyolefin composition, of a copolymer of propylene and ethylene, wherein the copolymer of propylene and ethylene comprises from 30 wt. % to 44 wt. %, of ethylene derived units based upon total weight of the copolymer of propylene and ethylene;

the sum A)+B) being 100 wt. %;

the polyolefin composition having an MFR L (Melt Flow Rate according to ISO 1133, condition L, i.e. 230° C. and 2.16 kg load) between 72 and 100 g/10 min.

2. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the container is a food container.

3. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin composition comprises:

A) from more than 67 wt. % to less than 81 wt. %, of the propylene homopolymer;

B) from more than 19 wt. % to less than 33 wt. %, of the copolymer of propylene and ethylene.

4. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin composition component B) contains more than 35 wt. % and less than 40 wt. %, of ethylene derived units.

5. The container according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin composition component B) contains from more than 36 wt. % and less than 39 wt. % of ethylene derived units.

6. The container according to claim 1 wherein the polyolefin composition has MFR L (Melt Flow Rate according to ISO 1133, condition L, i.e. 230° C. and 2.16 kg load) between 73 and 92 g/10 min.

7. A process comprising, preparing a container with an injection moulding, wherein the container comprises a polyolefin composition comprising:

A) from 59 wt. % to 84 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the polyolefin composition, of a propylene homopolymer having isotactic pentads (mmmm) measured with 13 C-NMR higher than 96%,

B) from 16 wt. % to 41 wt. %, based upon the total weight of the polyolefin composition, of a copolymer of propylene and ethylene, wherein the copolymer of propylene and ethylene comprises from 30 wt. % to 44 wt. %, of ethylene derived units based upon total weight of the copolymer of propylene and ethylene;

the sum A)+B) being 100 wt. %;

the polyolefin composition having an MFR L (Melt Flow Rate according to ISO 1133, condition L, i.e. 230° C. and 2.16 kg load) between 72 and 100 g/10 min.
