Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure provides polypropylene compositions that have a high gloss and minimum or no haze while also having a high melt strength (e.g., high temperature resistance) and a relative high stiffness. Polypropylene compositions contain one or more base polypropylenes (e.g., trimmed polypropylenes (tPPs)) and one or more clarifying agents. The base or trimmed polypropylene contains at least 50 mol % of propylene and has a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) in a range from 7 to 22, a z-average molecular weight of less than 2,500,000 g/mol, a branching index (g′vis) of at least 0.95, and a melt strength of less than 20 cN determined using an extensional rheometer at 190° C. The base or trimmed polypropylene can be produced from one or more high melt strength polypropylenes (HMS PPs).
