Abstract
The invention relates to a propylene-based copolymer and its moldings which are transparent and have good ordinary impact resistance, good cold impact resistance, and well-balanced flexibility and blocking resistance. The propylene-based copolymer comprises from 50 to 90% by weight of a propylene-ethylene copolymer [A] of such that (1) its ethylene content (&agr;) falls between 0.2 and 10% by weight, (2) the amount of its fraction (Wp) eluted within the temperature range between (Tp−5)° C. and (Tp+5)° C. is at least 20% by weight, with Tp (°C.) being the peak temperature for essential elution in temperature-programmed fractionation chromatography of the copolymer, and (3) the amount of its fraction (W0) eluted within the temperature range not higher than 0° C. in temperature-programmed fractionation chromatography of the copolymer, and &agr; satisfy a relation of W0≦(3+2&agr;)/4, and from 10 to 50% by weight of a propylene-ethylene copolymer [B] having an ethylene content of from 10 to 25% by weight.
