Abstract

Disclosed is a polymer composition containing: PA1 (A) from 70 to 98 parts by weight of a crystalline propylene homopolymer, or a crystalline random copolymer of propylene with ethylene and/or C.sub.4 -C.sub.10 .alpha.-olefins, containing from 0.5 to 10% by weight of ethylene and/or .alpha.-olefins [fraction (A)]; and PA1 (B) from 2 to 30 parts by weight of elastomeric copolymer of ethylene with one or more C.sub.4 -C.sub.10 .alpha.-olefins, containing from 60 to 85% by weight of ethylene, and partially soluble in xylene at 25.degree. C. [fraction (B)]; wherein the composition has an intrinsic viscosity value in tetrahydronaphthalene at 135.degree. C. of the fraction soluble in xylene at 25.degree. C. ranging from 0.8 to 1.1 dl/g.
