Patent ID: 8686093

Claim:
Heterophasic polypropylene resin having a MFR (2.16 kg, 230Â° C.) of at least 1.0 g/10 min, determined according to ISO 1133, comprising a propylene random copolymer matrix phase (A), and an ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber phase (B) dispersed within the matrix phase, wherein the heterophasic polypropylene resin has a fraction soluble in p-xylene at 25Â° C. (XCS fraction) being present in the resin in an amount of 15 to 45 wt % whereby the XCS fraction has an ethylene content of 25 wt % or lower, and a fraction insoluble in p-xylene at 25Â° C. (XCU fraction), said heterophasic polypropylene resin being characterised by a strain hardening factor (SHF) of 1.7 to 4.0 when measured at a strain rate of 3.0 s âˆ’1 and a Hencky strain of 3.0.
