Polypropylene resin compositions are provided that are useful in the
production of biaxially oriented polypropylene films (BOPPs). The resins
of the present invention are blends of high crystalline (low solubles)
polypropylene homopolymer and an ethylene/propylene random copolymer
(RCP). These blends can be used to replace standard high solubles BOPP
grade polypropylene homopolymers. In addition, the use of high
crystalline polypropylene homopolymers in the blends imparts improved
stiffness to the finished films while maintaining good processability of
the blends.
