Disclosed herein is an in-reactor produced multi-component copolymer
comprises a semi-crystalline component having a crystallinity of 20% or
more, and an amorphous component having a crystallinity of 5% or less.
The copolymer comprises at least 80 wt % of units derived from propylene
and from about 1 to about 20 wt % of units derived from at least one
C.sub.6 to C.sub.12 alpha-olefin. The copolymer has a viscosity at
190.degree. C. of at least 530 mPa sec and a heat of fusion between about
10 and about 70 J/g. An adhesive containing the copolymer exhibits a good
balance of adhesive properties and mechanical strength.
