Abstract:
The crystallization from the melt of an isotactic butene-1 homopolymer composition or isotactic butene-1-ethylene copolymer composition is promoted by adding a small amount of a nucleating agent selected from the group consisting of 1-naphthalene acetamide; N-stearoyl-p-aminophenol; mercapto-N-2-naphthylacetamide; malonamide; nicotinamide; isonicotinamide; benzamide; salicylamide; and anthranilamide.

Abstract:
Polypropylene impact copolymer compositions are provided which contain a homopolymer phase of predominantly homopolymeric polypropylene, a copolymer phase of copolymerized ethylene and propylene, and a nucleating agent. The inventive compositions have a rubber content (Fc) in the range of 25 to 45% by weight, a crystallization temperature in the range of 122 to 132.degree. C., a melt flow in the range of about 7 to about 60 dg/min, and a ratio of the intrinsic viscosity of the copolymer phase to the intrinsic viscosity of the homopolymer phase of 1.4 to about 1.9. The polypropylene impact copolymer compositions may be used to form cast films which preferably are soft, quiet, and suitable for use in products to be used next to the skin, such as diapers, adult incontinence pads and feminine hygiene products.
