A polymer composition having improved balanced mechanical and optical properties comprising (i) a random copolymer comprising from about 0.8% to about 20% by weight of butene-1 and from about 80% to about 99.2% by weight of propylene, and (2) from about 0%-0.35% by weight of polymer composition of a synthetic amorphous silica antiblock agent.

Random copolymer compositions

Processes for producing mono- and biaxially drawn polyketone films from linear polymers of carbon monoxide, ethylene, and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon having a melting point of at least 214.degree. C., comprising drawing of a linear polymer sheet along one or two axes, respectively, at a draw temperature of from about 4.degree. to 15.degree. C. below the melting point of the terpolymer, and a draw ratio of between 4 to 20. Also disclosed are the products which have and exhibit good properties of strength and stiffness, even at low draw ratios, produced by these processes.
