Abstract:
A multilayer film is characterized by having at least a skin layer comprising a propylene -- ethylene copolymers characterized by the following features: ethylene derived units content of between 1.0 wt% and 15.0% wt%; molecular weight distribution (MWD), expressed in terms of Mw/Mn, greater than 4.0; - the content of xylene soluble fraction (XS) and the ethylene derived units content (C2) fulfill the following relation: XS 0.435C2 where XS is the percentage by weight of the fraction soluble in xylene at 25°C and C2 is the percentage by weight of ethylene units in the said copolymers determined via NMR.

Abstract:
Articles, particularly pressure pipes, having high strength as well as high stiffness and very good impact resistance even at low temperatures can be obtained by using a heterophasic polyolefϊn composition comprising (percent by weight) 70-90% of a random copolymer of propylene with 0.5-6% of 1-hexene, and 10-30% of a polymer of ethylene with a C 3 -C 10 α- olefϊn and optionally a diene, wherein the polymer of ethylene has an ethylene content higher than 45% and an intrinsic viscosity [η] value from 3 to 5 dl/g. A particular advantage of the present invention is that articles comprising the above heterophasic polyolefϊn composition show a low ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT).
