Abstract

Abstract A copolymer based on ethylene and propylene, having a density of between 0.933 and 0.946 g/cm 3 and a melt index of between 2 and 10 dg/min, wherein the copolymer has from 3 to 27 alkyl groups per 1000 carbon atoms in the molecule and wherein its density ρ and its proportion m of alkyl groups in the molecule satisfy the relationship 0.948≦ρ+0.71 m≦0.9525. The copolymer is produced by feeding a flux comprising from 80 to 95% by weight of ethylene and from 5 to 20% by weight of propylene into at least one reactor in stationary operation, the reactor having at least one reaction zone; and copolymerizing the ethylene and propylene in the reactor at a pressure of from 300 to 2500 bar and a temperature of from 180° to 320° C. in the presence of a Ziegler type catalyst system.
