The present invention relates to use of a polypropylene composition comprising a polypropylene having—a melt flow rate MFR2 (230° C./2.16 kg) measured according to ISO 1133 of 10 to 40 g/10 min, —a melting temperature T.sub.m as determined by DSC according to ISO 11357 of 149 to 160° C., and—a molecular weight distribution MWD of 2.4 to 4.5 as determined by GPC, for extrusion coating of an article, to a process for extrusion coating of an article and to an extrusion coated article.

New C2C3 random copolymer composition, which shows improved sealing behaviour due to low sealing initiation temperature (SIT) and high hot tack force. In addition, the inventive composition shows an excellent sterilization behaviour, i.e. retention of low haze level after sterilization. The present invention is furthermore related to the manufacture of said copolymer composition and to its use.

A process for making a poly alpha-olefin (PAO) having a relatively high vinylidene content (or combined vinylidene and tri-substituted vinylene content) and a relatively low vinyl and/or di-substituted vinylene content, as well as a relatively low molecular weight. The process includes: contacting a feed containing a C.sub.2-C.sub.32 alpha-olefin with a catalyst system comprising activator and a bis-cyclopentadienyl metallocene compound, typically a cyclopentadienyl-benzindenyl group 4 transition metal compound.

This invention relates homogeneous (solution) polymerization of propylene at higher temperatures (80° C. or more) using bisindenyl metallocene catalyst compounds having long (at least 4 carbon atoms) linear alkyl groups substituted at the 2-position and substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups at the 4-position.

Provided is a propylene-based elastomer having high tacticity and excellent mechanical properties. The propylene-based elastomer includes 50% by weight or more of a propylene-based repeating unit, and satisfies a particular relationship between an ethylene content and tacticity.

Blown films based on a blend of a C.sub.2C.sub.3 random copolymer and a C.sub.2-based plastomer, which combine low scaling initiation temperature (SIT), good optical properties and an improved stiffness/impact balance, and which also show an excellent sterilization behaviour.

Fiber reinforced composite comprising a polypropylene with high melting temperature and very narrow molecular weight distribution.

The present invention relates to a transition metal compound that may exhibit high activity in olefin polymerization, and easily control the properties of synthesized olefin polymer such as a chemical structure, molecular weight distribution, a mechanical property, and the like, a catalyst composition comprising the same, and a method for olefin polymerization using the catalyst composition.

Provided is A polypropylene-based resin composition comprising 2 mass % to 30 mass % of a polypropylene resin (X1) having specific properties, 5 mass % to 98 mass % of a polypropylene resin (X2) having specific properties, and 0 mass % to 80 mass % of a polypropylene-based resin (Y) having specific properties, wherein the total amount of the polypropylene resin (X1), the polypropylene resin (X2) and the polypropylene-based resin (Y) is 100 mass %.

This invention relates to a novel metallocene compound, a catalyst composition comprising the metallocene compound, and a method for preparing olefin polymer using the catalyst composition.
