Abstract

An elastomeric polypropylene wherein (a) an isotactic pentad (I5) is 0.150-0.749, (b) a different bond due to a 2,1-insertion reaction is 0.11-20 mol %, (c) a different bond due to a 1,3-insertion reaction is 0-10 mol % and (d) a melting point (Tm) is 50-160° C., (a) to (c) being determined from 13C NMR spectra, which is obtainable by the polymerization of propylene using any one of a metallocene catalyst (I) comprising a metallocene compound (A), an activating compound (B) and if desired, an organoaluminum compound (C), a supported metallocene catalyst (II) prepared by supporting the metallocene catalyst (I) on a finely particulate support (D), and a supported metallocene catalyst (III) prepared by adding an organoaluminum compound (E) to the supported metallocene catalyst (II). In particular, it has excellent transparency and elastic characteristics.
