The invention relates to a Process for the preparation of a composition comprising (A) a heterophasic propylene copolymer, (B) talc and (C) a phenolic antioxidant and/or a processing stabilizer, wherein the heterophasic propylene copolymer consists of (a) a propylene-based matrix, wherein the propylene-based matrix consists of a propylene homopolymer and/or a propylene-α-olefin copolymer consisting of at least 70 wt % of propylene and up to 30 wt % of ethylene, based on the total weight of the propylene-based matrix, wherein the propylene-based matrix is present in an amount of 60 to 95 wt % based on the total heterophasic propylene copolymer and (b) a dispersed ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, wherein the dispersed ethylene-α-olefin copolymer is present in an amount of 40 to 5 wt % based on the total heterophasic propylene copolymer and wherein the sum of the total amount of propylene-based matrix and total amount of the dispersed ethylene-α-olefin copolymer in the heterophasic propylene copolymer is 100 wt %, wherein at least part of the talc is surface-modified and wherein the amount of talc in the composition is from about 0.5 to at most 5 wt % based on the heterophasic propylene copolymer, comprising the step of melt-mixing component (A), component (B) and component (C). |
