The present invention provides isotactic polypropylene compositions
suitable for cast film applications, cast polypropylene films made
therefrom, and processes for forming such films. The novel polypropylene
films are formed from film resins having a melt flow ratio of from 6 15
dg/min, with a narrow molecular weight distribution, narrow composition
distribution, low level of solvent extractables, and increased film
clarity (i.e., decreased haze %) compared to prior art Ziegler-Natta
polypropylene film resins. The polypropylene films can be cast from an
extruded polypropylene polymer, the extruded isotactic polypropylene
polymer being formed by polymerization with a fluorided silica supported
catalyst.
