The present invention is directed to a biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film with improved breakdown strength and to a capacitor comprising an insulation film comprising a layer of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film of the present invention. The present invention is further directed to a process for producing a biaxially oriented polypropylene film. Finally, the present invention is further directed to the use of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film of the present invention as layer of an insulation film of a capacitor. The BOPP film comprises a polypropylene composition, wherein the polypropylene composition comprises a high isotactic homopolymer of propylene and a polymeric α-nucleating agent. The BOPP film has a dielectric breakdown field strength Eb63.2 of at least 595 kV/mm. The process for producing a biaxially oriented polypropylene film comprises the steps of extruding a polypropylene composition to a flat film and orienting the flat film simultaneously in the machine direction and in the transverse direction.

The invention relates to storage-stable hot-melt adhesive containing 15 to 70 wt % of a mixture of at least one copolymer based on ethylene and/or propylene and at least one C4 to C20 α-olefin which is obtainable as a block copolymer by metallocene-catalyzed polymerization, and at least one styrene block copolymer, 10 to 70 wt % of at least one tackifying resin, 0 to 40 wt % of further additives, wherein the total of the percentages should amount to 100% and the tackifying resin is entirely or in part a soft resin.

A solution polymerization process for producing ethylene-based polymer includes introducing ethylene monomer, hydrocarbon solvent, and Ziegler-Natta catalyst into an entrance of a solution polymerization reactor. An ethylene-based polymer is produced by solution polymerizing the ethylene monomer in hydrocarbon solvent. Subsequently, a catalyst deactivator is introduced into x the exit of the solution polymerization reactor, thereby producing hydrochloric acid byproduct. The catalyst deactivator includes long chain carboxylate and at least one cation selected from Groups 1, 2, and 12 of the IUPAC periodic table, with the exception of calcium. The catalyst deactivator reduces the effectiveness of the Ziegler-Natta catalyst and neutralizes the hydrochloric acid by forming a chloride salt other than calcium chloride.
