- Propylene copolymers can be used for many applications. For instance propylene copolymers are used in the area of juvenile care (car seat, stroller, baby walker), toys and heavy duty pails where impact resistance not only at room temperature but also at lower temperature plays an important role. Also the processability as well as stiffness of such propylene copolymers plays an important issue. Unfortunately these desired proerties behave in a contradicting manner, i.e. the improvement of one property is paid with deterioration of the other properties.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a polymer material for injection molding, which has highly advantageous mechanical properties and additionally highly desirable processing properties for producing injection-molded articles.
- the finding of the present invention is that the objects can be solved by a propylene composition having a rather high melt flow rate, wherein said propylene copolymer has a multimodal comonomer distribution in the rubber phase.

In one specific embodiment the heterophasic propylene copolymer (HECO) according to this invention comprises - apart from propylene - units derivable from ethylene only.
- the xylene cold soluble (XCS) fraction of the heterophasic propylene copolymer (HECO) is regarded as the elastomeric ethylene- propylene copolymer (EC).

Even more preferably the total ethylene content [in mol.-%] of the ethylene-propylene copolymer (EC) is higher than the ethylene content [in mol.-%] of the first elastomeric ethylene-propylene copolymer fraction (EC l ).
