Gail HDPE G Lene I60A080

Gail HDPE G‑Lene I60A080 is a high‑density polyethylene (HDPE) resin designed for injection moulding where fast filling, clean surface finish, and consistent rigidity are required. Positioned as a high‑flow, high‑density grade, it is commonly selected for general‑purpose and industrial‑purpose crates, caps and closures, and rigid container‑type moulded parts.

This grade is manufactured by GAIL (India) Limited under its G‑Lene petrochemicals portfolio. In GAIL’s own technical sheet, I60A080 is described as an injection‑moulding HDPE made using G‑Lene swing‑plant technology (Sclairtech solution and Unipol gas‑phase processes). For buyers, that translates into a resin family built for repeatable processing, high‑cycle moulding, and dependable part performance in day‑to‑day industrial handling.

A key trust signal for procurement and quality teams: GAIL states that I60A080 conforms to IS 7328:2020 with natural‑resin designation IS 7328‑3‑MB‑GXDD (certificate available on request), supporting standardization for moulded product manufacturing.

Technical insights

I60A080 is typically evaluated by moulders on flow, stiffness, surface, and impact balance:

Flow and cycle‑time behavior: With a typical Melt Flow Index (MFI, I2 at 190°C/2.16 kg) of 8.0 g/10 min, this is a high‑flow HDPE suited to faster filling of thin‑wall or complex‑geometry moulds (common in crates and closure designs). Higher flow often supports shorter cycle times and easier mould filling, especially when running multi‑cavity tools.

Stiffness and dimensional stability: A typical density of 0.960 g/cm³ places I60A080 firmly in the high‑density class, generally associated with higher stiffness and better load‑bearing behavior in rigid parts. Combined with a typical flexural modulus of 9500 kg/cm², it is positioned for crates and rigid moulded components where shape retention matters.

Strength, toughness, and handling durability: Typical tensile strength at yield of 255 kg/cm² indicates solid load resistance for everyday industrial use. Typical elongation at yield of 10% and elongation at break >350% reflect a material that can deform before failing—useful in parts that see drops, stacking, and repeated handling.

Surface and heat resistance indicators: Typical Shore D hardness of 67 supports a “hard, rigid feel” expected in crates and closures. Typical Vicat softening point (10 N) of 124°C is a practical indicator for heat‑related dimensional stability (e.g., warm filling environments, storage in hot conditions), while still requiring process‑appropriate design and testing.

Applications

Injection‑moulded crates (general‑purpose and industrial)

G‑Lene I60A080 is widely positioned for injection‑moulded crates where moulders need a high‑flow HDPE that fills quickly and produces stiff, durable parts. Typical use cases include beverage crates, industrial transport crates, and handling boxes where low warpage and consistent rigidity help maintain stackability and dimensional control.

Caps and closures

For caps and closures, the grade’s high flow supports high‑cavity moulds and fast cycle times, while the high density contributes to rigidity and thread integrity. It is a practical choice for closure‑type parts where consistent mould filling and repeatable part dimensions are critical.

Rigid moulded parts (luggage shells, helmets, container‑type parts)

GAIL also positions I60A080 for rigid moulded parts such as luggage shells and helmets. In these applications, moulders often want a balance of stiffness, surface appearance, and impact tolerance—especially when parts must hold shape while still resisting cracking under handling stress.

Comparable alternatives

Comparable HDPE injection‑moulding grades exist in India, including other GAIL G‑Lene injection grades such as I60U080 (UV‑stabilized) and I62A080U. However, direct equivalence should not be assumed unless the manufacturer technical data sheets match on key parameters such as MFI (flow), density (stiffness), tensile at yield, impact (Izod), and warpage behavior under similar test methods.

Positioning‑wise, I60A080 is best treated as a standard (non‑UV) high‑flow crate/cap grade. If your application involves outdoor exposure and long sunlight resistance requirements, UV‑stabilized variants may be more appropriate—validate via the specific grade’s manufacturer sheet and your part testing.
