A process for preparing a catalyst component made from or containing Mg, Ti, and at least an electron donor compound (ID), including the steps of: (a) reacting a Mg based compound with a Ti compound, having at least a Ti—Cl bond, in an amount such that the Ti/Mg molar ratio is greater than 3 and at a temperature ranging from 0 to 150° C., thereby yielding an intermediate solid catalyst component containing Mg and Ti; and (b) contacting the intermediate solid catalyst component with a gaseous stream containing the electron donor compound (ID) in a gaseous dispersing medium, thereby yielding a final solid catalyst component having an ID/Ti molar ratio ranging from 0.5:1 to 20:1.

The present invention relates to heterophasic polypropylene compositions comprising a propylene homo- or copolymer forming a crystalline fraction as a matrix and an amorphous propylene ethylene elastomer as a soluble fraction dispersed in said matrix. The heterophasic polypropylene compositions further comprise an elastomeric ethylene/alpha-olefin random copolymer. The heterophasic polypropylene compositions have a well-balanced relation between stiffness and impact strength, low volatile and semi-volatile emissions and good processability.

Disclosed is a polypropylene with an MFR of at least 20 g/10 min comprising a homopolypropylene and within a range from 2 wt % to 20 wt % of a propylene-α-olefin copolymer by weight of the polypropylene, where the homopolypropylene has a MFR within a range from 30 g/10 min to 200 g/10 min, where the propylene-α-olefin copolymer comprises within a range from 30 wt % to 50 wt % α-olefin derived units by weight of the propylene-α-olefin copolymer, and has an IV within a range from 4 to 9 dL/g. The polypropylene may be obtained by combining a Ziegler-Natta catalyst having two transition metals with propylene in reactors in series to produce the homopolypropylene followed by a gas phase reactor to produce a propylene-α-olefin copolymer blended with the homopolypropylene.
