Abstract

A biaxially oriented polypropylene film is described. The base ply of the film contains at least 90% by weight of a polypropylene prepared by means of a metallocene catalyst. This polypropylene is distinguished by a mean isotactic block length of greater than 40, an n-heptane soluble fraction of less than 1% and a ratio of the weight average molecular weight M.sub.w to the number average molecular weight M.sub.n of less than 4.
