    Abstract: Process for the production of a polypropylene random copolymer (PP), the process comprising the steps of polymerising in a first reactor (R1) propylene and a comonomer (C1a) selected from a C4 to C8 α-olefin in the presence of a first metallocene catalyst (MC1) yielding a first polypropylene copolymer (PP1), wherein the ratio of the feed of the comonomer (C1a) to the feed of propylene is in the range of 1 to 100 mol/kmol and the MFR2 of the first polypropylene copolymer (PP1) is in the range of 0.01 to 100 g/10 min; transferring the first polypropylene copolymer (PP1) to a second reactor (R2); polymerising in the second reactor (R2) and in the presence of said first polypropylene (PP1), propylene, a comonomer (C1b) selected from a C4 to C8 α-olefin, and a second metallocene catalyst (MC2) yielding a second polypropylene copolymer (PP2), wherein the ratio of the feed of the comonomer (C1b) to the feed of propylene is in the range of 40 to 150 mol/kmol and the MFR2 of the second polypropylene copolymer (PP2) is in the range of 0.01 to 100 g/10 min; withdrawing the polypropylene random copolymer (PP) comprising the first polypropylene copolymer (PP1) and the second polypropylene copolymer (PP2) from the second reactor (R2); wherein the first metallocene catalyst (MC1) and/or the second metallocene catalyst (MC2) is a metallocene catalyst (MC) comprising a metallocene complex, and wherein the metallocene catalyst (MC) comprises a support comprising silica.
