Abstract
A polypropylene-based calendered or injection-molded article satisfying the requirements of (1) having a tensile modulus TM of 5 MPa or higher and (2) having, when measured by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), no melting point or a melting point Tm (° C.) satisfying the formula: TM≧5×Tm−450, is less tacky and excellent in flexibility and transparency. Such a polypropylene-based calendered or injection-molded article is produced from a propylene polymer satisfying the requirements of (1) having a component soluble in a 25° C. hexane in a content H25 of 0 to 80% by weight; (2) having, when measured by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), no melting point or a melting point Tm (° C.) satisfying the formula: &Dgr;H≧6×(Tm−140) wherein &Dgr;H is a melting endotherm (J/g); and (3) having an intrinsic viscosity [&eegr;] of 1 to 3 dl/g as measured at 135° C. in tetralin.
