Embodiments of the present invention include a polypropylene homopolymer
synthesized from a metallocene catalyst system and methods of forming the
homopolymer, the homopolymer having an aluminum and chlorine recoverables
value of less than 25 ppm and a xylene solubles of less than 1 wt %
relative to the total weight of the homopolymer. The resulting
homopolymer has other desirable properties such as a heat deflection
temperature at 0.45 MPa of from 90.degree. C. to 110.degree. C., and a
MWD value of from 1.7 to 5.0. These properties make embodiments of the
homopolymer desirable for films, and in particular for capacitor films.
