Abstract:
An olefin polymer composition comprising (ppm with respect to the polymer): a lactone of the furan-2-one type, a phenol in amounts of 50 to 200 ppm, a sterically hindered amine in amounts of 50 to 300 ppm, and an organic phosphite and/or organic phosphonite in amounts of 50 to less than 280 ppm. The polymer composition contains the unsubstituted furan-2-one moiety in amounts ranging from 11 to 49 ppm with respect to the polymer. Staple fibres with high tenacity and elongation at break and non-woven fabrics are prepared from such an olefin polymer composition.

Abstract:
Polypropylene compositions, particularly suited for preparation of stretched/oriented articles, especially for injection stretch blow moulded bottles, comprising: A) one or more propylene homopolymers or propylene copolymers or their mixtures; B) from 500 to about 1500 ppm by weight of talc in form of particles having average particle diameter of equal to or less than 1.5 µm. Said compositions display higher crystallization temperature with respect to the same polyolefin (A) without addition of (B), while keeping good levels of transparency, particularly when (A) is or comprises a random polymer.
