Abstract
A polypropylene resin composition having excellent rigidity, impact resistance and formability (moldability) and thus useful for the interior parts of automobile, includes (A) a crystalline E/P block copolymer containing a fraction Ac soluble in p-xylene at room temperature and having an ethylene content of 18 to 22%; (B) a crystalline E/P block copolymer containing a fraction Bc soluble in p-xylene at room temperature and having an ethylene content of 27 to 40% and (C) talc particles having an average size of 3 to 5 .mu.m and largest size less than 20 .mu.m, in which composition, (a) the p-xylene-soluble fractions Ac and Bc are in contents As and Bs based on the total weight of the copolymers (A) and (B) and satisfying As+Bs=7 to 17% by weight and As/(A +Bs)=0.1 to 0.6; (b) an isotactic pentad fraction of propylene in each of copolymers (A) and (B) is 96% or more, and the mixture of the copolymers (A) and (B) has a MFR of 20 to 35 g/10 min at 230.degree. C. under 2160 g load; and (c) the copolymers (A) and (B) are in a total weight content of 50 to 95% and talc (C) is in a weight content of 5 to 50%.
