    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of a tape comprising a plurality of sheathed continuous multifilament strands, wherein each of the sheathed continuous multifilament strands comprises a core that extends in the longitudinal direction and a polymer sheath which intimately surrounds said core, wherein each of the cores comprises an impregnated continuous multifilament strand comprising at least one continuous glass multifilament strand, wherein the at least one continuous glass multifilament strand is impregnated with an impregnating agent, wherein the process comprises the steps of: d) providing the plurality of sheathed continuous multifilament strands, e) placing the plurality of sheathed continuous multifilament strands in parallel alignment in the longitudinal direction, f) grouping the plurality of sheathed continuous multifilament strands, wherein steps e) and f) are performed such that the sheathed continuous multifilament strand can be consolidated and g) subsequently consolidating the plurality of sheathed continuous multifilament strands to form the tape, wherein the sheathed continuous multifilament strands are prepared by the sequential steps of a) unwinding from a package the continuous glass multifilament strands, b) applying the impregnating agent to the continuous glass multifilament strands to form the impregnated continuous multifilament strands and c) applying the sheath of the thermoplastic polymer composition around the impregnated continuous multifilament strands to form the sheathed continuous multifilament strands, wherein the sheathed continuous multifilament strands of step d) are the sheathed continuous multifilament strands obtained by step c) and wherein the sheathed continuous multifilament strands of step d) are subjected to step e) without cutting.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an exterior or semi-exterior automotive part prepared from a thermoplastic composition comprising - from 48 - 95 wt.% based on the weight of the composition of at least one heterophasic propylene copolymer; wherein said heterophasic propylene copolymer consists of i) a propylene-based matrix consisting of a propylene homopolymer and/or a propylene-α-olefin copolymer, said matrix consisting of at least 90 wt.% of propylene and at most 10 wt.% of α-olefin, based on the total weight of the propylene-based matrix, and ii) a dispersed ethylene-α-olefin copolymer comprising ethylene and at least one C3 to C10 α-olefin; - from 0 - 20 wt.%, preferably 1 -20 wt.%, based on the weight of the composition of an ethylene-α-olefin elastomer comprising ethylene and at least one C3 to C10 α-olefin; - from 1 up to 30 wt.%, preferably more than 5 at up to 30 wt.% based on the weight of the composition of high aspect ratio (HAR) talc as a filler; - from 0 to 5 wt.% based on the weight of the composition of another talc; - from 0.05 - 1 wt.% based on the weight of the composition of a phenolic antioxidant additive; - from 0.05 - 1 wt.%, preferably > 0.1 to 0.5 wt.%, based on the weight of the composition of at least one amphiphilic protective additive comprising a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic part, wherein said hydrophobic part preferably comprises at least one substituted or un-substituted alkyl group having at least 12 carbon atoms; and - from 0 - 3 wt.% based on the weight of the composition of one or more additional additives. It moreover relates to a method of producing these and to the use of such a composition for the manufacture of an exterior or semi-exterior part in automotive applications.
