Articles, in particular non-pressure mono- or multi-layer pipes, prepared
by extrusion, molding and combination thereof, comprising a heterophasic
polyolefin composition comprising (1) 65-95% of a crystalline propylene
polymer insoluble in xylene at ambient temperature in an amount over 85%
and having a polydispersity index ranging from 4 to 13 and an intrinsic
viscosity value ([.eta.].sub.1) of over 2.2 dl/g, and (2) 5-35% of an
elastomeric olefin polymer of ethylene with a C.sub.3-C.sub.10
.alpha.-olefin having an ethylene content ranging from 15 to 85% and an
intrinsic viscosity value ([.eta.].sub.2) of at least 1.4 g/ml. The
[.eta.].sub.1/[.eta.].sub.2 ratio ranging from 0.45 to 1.6. The articles
typically have modulus of elasticity in tension higher than 2000 MPa.The
invention also relates to the said heterophasic polyolefin composition
and an extrusion process for producing the said articles.
