Abstract:
A polyolefin composition made using a propylene/ethylene copolymer (90.0 wt % to 99.0 wt %) and a heterophasic (second) propylene/ethylene copolymer (1.0 wt % to 10.0 wt %). The composition is useful for the production of pressure pipes, e.g., for use at low temperature, and of pipes for use in heat radiating systems, among other applications.
