Abstract

A heterophasic polypropylene composition (C) comprising: a. 60.0 to 85.0 wt.-% of a first heterophasic propylene ethylene copolymer (HECO1), having: i. 75.0 to 92.0 wt.-% of a CRYSTEX QC crystalline fraction (CF); ii. 8.0 to 25.0 wt.-% of a CRYSTEX QC soluble fraction (SF); iii. an IV(SF) of 2.00 to 4.00 dl/g; b. 5.0 to 20.0 wt.-% of a second heterophasic propylene ethylene copolymer (HECO2), having i. 15.0 to 30.0 wt.-% of a CRYSTEX QC soluble fraction (SF); ii. an IV(SF) of 2.5 to 5.0 dl/g; and c. 5.0 to 20.0 wt.-% of a polymer of ethylene (PE), being selected from an ethylene-based plastomer and an LDPE, having a density in the range from 895 to 925 kg/m3; wherein the heterophasic polypropylene composition (C) has an MFR2 in the range from 15.0 to 40.0 g/10 min, and 5.0 to 23.0 wt.-% of a CRYSTEX QC soluble fraction (SF).
