    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new polypropylene composition for molded articles, such as finished parts for the automotive industry. A composition comprising: (A) from 40 to 85% by weight of a first propylene-based component being selected from propylene homopolymers, propylene copolymers and heterophasic propylene polymer, such first propylene-based component having a flexural modulus higher than 800 MPa; (B) from 5 to 20% by weight of a second propylene-based component being a heterophasic propylene polymer comprising: (B1) from 20 to 90% by weight of a crystalline polypropylene, and (B2) from 10 to 80% by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and at least one C3-C10 alpha-olefin, such copolymer containing from 10 to 70% by weight of ethylene, being soluble in xylene at room temperature, and having an intrinsic viscosity in tetrahydronaphtalene at 135° C. of higher than 3.5 dl/g; and (C) from 10 to 40% by weight of glass fibers.

    Abstract: Process for the preparation of heterophasic propylene copolymer compositions (RAHECO) made from or containing a random propylene copolymer (RACO) and an elastomeric propylene copolymer (BIPO), the process being carried out in a reactor having two interconnected polymerization zones, a riser and a downcomer, wherein growing polymer particles: (a) flow through the first polymerization zone, the riser, under fast fluidization conditions in the presence of propylene and of ethylene or an alpha-olefin having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, thereby obtaining the random propylene copolymer (RACO); (b) leave the riser and enter the second polymerization zone, the downcomer, through which the growing polymer particles flow downward in a densified form in the presence of propylene and of ethylene or an alpha-olefin having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, wherein the concentration of ethylene or of the alpha-olefin in the downcomer is higher than in the riser, thereby obtaining the elastomeric propylene copolymer (BIPO); and (c) leave the downcomer and are reintroduced into the riser, thereby establishing a circulation of polymer between the riser and the downcomer.
