1. An unoriented film, wherein the unoriented film is a cast film or a blown film, wherein the unoriented film comprises more than 90% of a polypropylene composition, the polypropylene composition comprising
(A) a blend of
(a) 80.0 to 92.0 wt %, based on the blend, of a propylene terpolymer comprising
(i) ethylene-derived comonomer units in an amount of from 1.0 to 1.6 wt %, and
(ii) comonomer units derived from a C4 to C10 α-olefin in an amount of from 6.0 to 10.0 wt %,
whereby the terpolymer has an MFR2 (230° C., 2.16 kg, ISO 1133) in a range of 1.5 to 5.0 g/10 min and
(b) 8.0 to 20.0 wt %, based on the blend, of an ethylene based plastomer having a density according to ISO 1183 of from 0.850 g/cm3 to 0.900 g/cm3 and an MFR2 according to ISO 1133 (190° C.; 2.16 kg) in the range of 0.3 to 4.0 g/10 min, and
(B) optionally one or more additives in a total amount of from 0.0 up to 5.0 wt %, based on the polypropylene composition, selected from the group consisting of slip agents, anti-block agents, UV stabilizers, alpha and/or beta nucleating agents, antistatic agents, and antioxidants,
wherein the MFR2 according to ISO 1133 (230° C.; 2.16 kg) of the polypropylene composition is in the range of 1.7 to 4.0 g/10 min,
wherein the unoriented film has a Dart Drop Impact according to ASTM D1709, method A of 500 g to 1500 g, a haze according to ASTM D1003-00 determined on 50 μm blown film of 20.0% to 25.0%, a tensile modulus in machine direction according to ISO 527-3 on blown film with a thickness of 50 μm at a cross head speed of 100 mm/min of 300 to 558 MPa, and a sealing initiation temperature in the range of 100° C. to 108° C.
