Abstract
The present invention is directed to a new heterophasic propylene copolymer (RAHECO), a process for obtaining said heterophasic propylene copolymer (RAHECO) and a film or a cable insulation comprising the heterophasic propylene copolymer (RAHECO).
Claims17
A heterophasic propylene copolymer (RAHECO), said heterophasic propylene copolymer (RAHECO) comprises a matrix (M) being a random propylene copolymer (R-PP) and an elastomeric propylene copolymer (E) dispersed in said matrix (M),
- wherein the heterophasic propylene copolymer (RAHECO) has
- a) a melt flow rate MFR2 (230° C./2.16 kg) measured according to ISO 1133 in the range of 2.5 to 12.0 g/10 min,
- b) a xylene cold soluble fraction (XCS) determined according ISO 16152 (25° C.) in the range of 38.0 to 50.0 wt.-%, said xylene cold soluble fraction (XCS) having a comonomer content below 36.0 mol-%,
- and wherein further
- the xylene cold insoluble fraction (XCI) of the heterophasic propylene copolymer (RAHECO) has a relative content of isolated to block ethylene sequences (I(E)) of below 55.0%, wherein the I(E) content is defined by equation (I)

- fPEP is the mol fraction of propylene/ethylene/propylene sequences (PEP) in the xylene cold insoluble fraction (XCI) of the heterophasic propylene copolymer (RAHECO);
- fPEE is the mol fraction of propylene/ethylene/ethylene sequences (PEE) and of ethylene/ethylene/propylene sequences (EEP) in the xylene cold insoluble fraction (XCI) of the heterophasic propylene copolymer (RAHECO);
- and
- fEEE is the mol fraction of ethylene/ethylene/ethylene sequences (EEE) in the xylene cold insoluble fraction (XCI) of the heterophasic propylene copolymer (RAHECO),
- wherein all sequence concentrations being based on a statistical triad analysis of 13C-NMR data.
