A composition that may be useful for thermoforming and blow molding
applications comprises a metallocene catalyzed propylene-ethylene random
copolymer having an ethylene content of from about 0.1 to about 1.5
weight percent based on the copolymer, and exhibits a flexural modulus of
at least about 1,100 MPa, a haze of less than about 40 percent, a melt
flow of from about 1.0 dg/min to about 3.0 dg/min, and a xylene solubles
content from about 0.2 weight percent to about 1.0 weight percent based
on the copolymer. A process for preparing the copolymer and articles
prepared therefrom are also disclosed. The composition's properties may
make it particularly desirable for applications such as bottles, syringes
and containers such as those used for food and medical purposes.
