Abstract

Novel crystalline copolymers of propylene with minor proportions of ethylene and/or alpha-olefins, endowed with very good mechanical properties, a low melting point and a limited solubility in xylene at 25.degree. C., and the process for preparing them by means of the polymerization of mixtures of propylene with ethylene and/or alpha-olefins of suitable composition, by using catalysts obtained from stereorigid and chiral compounds of zirconium, and methylalumoxanic compounds.
