- wherein the mC2C3C4 base resin consists of
- (i) 30.0 to 60.0 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the mC2C3C4 base resin, of a first polymer component (TERPO-1) having
- a melt flow rate MFR2 (230° C./2.16 kg) measured according to ISO 1133 in the range from 1.0 to 10.0 g/10 min;
- an ethylene (C2) content measured by 13C-NMR analysis (as described in the experimental part) in the range of 0.7 to 1.3 wt.-% with respect to the total weight of the first polymer component (TERPO-1) and

- and
- (ii) 40.0 to 70.0 wt.-% based on the total weight of the mC2C3C4 base resin, of a second polymer component (TERPO-2) having
- a melt flow rate MFR2 (230° C./2.16 kg) measured according to ISO 1133 in the range from 10.0 to 20.0 g/10 min;
- an ethylene (C2) content measured by 13C-NMR analysis (as described in the experimental part) in the range of 1.3 to 2.0 wt.-% with respect to the total weight of the second polymer component (TERPO-2) and
- a 1-butene (C4) content measured by 13C-NMR analysis (as described in the experimental part) in the range of 6.0 to 10.0 wt.-% with respect to the total weight of the first polymer component (TERPO-2) and
