Abstract

A polypropylene composition for the production of various molded articles which are excellent in moldability, mold shrinkage factor on molding, rigidity, flexibility, impact resistance, in particular low-temperature impact resistance, transparency, gloss, stress-whitening resistance, and the balance thereof; various molded articles having the above properties; a propylene composition which is suitable for a base resin for the polypropylene composition; and a process for the production thereof. The propylene composition comprises a propylene homopolymer and a propylene-ethylene copolymer, the intrinsic viscosity of the copolymer ([.eta.].sub.RC) is in the range of 1.7 to 2.8 dl/g, the intrinsic viscosity ratio of the homopolymer to the copolymer ([.eta.].sub.RC /[.eta.].sub.pp) is in the range of 0.7 to 1.2 and a product [(W.sub.PP /W.sub.RC).times.([.eta.].sub.RC /[.eta.].sub.pp)] of the weight ratio (W.sub.PP /W.sub.RC) of the homopolymer to the copolymer and the intrinsic viscosity ratio thereof is in the range of 1.0 to 3.0.
