Abstract
The invention relates to the use of a polyolefin composition comprising a propylene-ethylene random copolymer having an ethylene content of 0.5-10 wt % and a randomness R of the ethylene distribution in the polymer chain of ≧0.945 for the production of articles having high sterilization resistance.

Use of a polyolefin composition comprising a propylene-ethylene random copolymer having an ethylene content of ≦2.4 wt % and a randomness R of an ethylene distribution in a polymer chain of ≧0.945 for a production of sterilisable articles, having a Δ(haze) value of 100% or less, wherein a sterilization is carried out at 121° C. for 30 minutes and wherein further the randomness R of the ethylene distribution in the polymer chain satisfies a relationship R≧0.887+0.048*CM-0.007*CM2, wherein CM denotes the ethylene content in wt % of the propylene-ethylene random copolymer.
Use of a polyolefin composition comprising a propylene-ethylene random copolymer having an ethylene content of ≦2.5 wt % and a randomness R of an ethylene distribution in a polymer chain of ≧0.945 for a production of sterilisable articles, having a Δ (haze) value of 40% or less, wherein a sterilization is carried out at 121° C. for 30 minutes and wherein further the randomness R of the ethylene distribution in the polymer chain satisfies a relationship R≧0.887+0.048*CM-0.007*CM2, wherein CM denotes the ethylene content in wt % of the propylene-ethylene random copolymer.
