ABSTRACT:
A process for obtaining thermoformed articles, comprising the following steps: a) forming a sheet comprising a propylene resin; b) thermoforming the sheet obtained in step a); wherein said propylene resin has the following characteristics: a) distribution of molecular weight Mw/Mn lower than 4; preferably lower than 3; b) 2,1 insertions measured with by 13C-NMR lower than 0.50%; preferably lower than 0.40%; c) eta* and the frequency ω meet the following relation for ω comprised between 0.1 ad 1: eta*>3700ω(−0 13) d) melt flow rate (MFR) (ISO 1133) lower than 5; preferably lower than 4; more preferably lower than 3; wherein the polypropylene resin comprises: (i) from 10 to 100% by weight of a propylene homopolymer or a propylene copolymer containing from 0.1% to 10% by mol of derived units of ethylene or an alpha-olefin of formula CH2═CHZ wherein Z is a linear or branched C2-C20 radical; and (ii) from 0 to 90% by weight of a propylene copolymer containing from 0.1% to 10% by mol of derived units of ethylene or an alpha-olefin of formula CH2═CHZ wherein Z is a linear or branched C2-C20 radical, said propylene copolymer having a content of ethylene or an alpha-olefin of formula CH2═CHZ different from the propylene copolymer (i).
