Haldia PPCP Halene M340
Haldia Halene M340 is a nucleated heterophasic polypropylene impact copolymer (PPCP) produced using Spheripol technology by Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd. Engineered for high-flow injection moulding (40 g/10 min MFI), M340 combines reactor-grade consistency, low cycle times, and an excellent impact-stiffness balance. The nucleation accelerates crystallisation, minimizes warpage, and enhances dimensional stability, making M340 ideal for automotive parts, appliance/white goods components, thin-wall injection moulding (TWIM), and compounding. The grade is BIS designated IS 10951-3-MBV-E and is compliant with IS 10910 for food, pharma, and drinking water contact. M340 is supplied as natural, odourless granules in 25 kg bags and is not intended for prohibited Single Use Plastic (SUP) items per PWM Rules 2016.
Functional Features
Halene M340 stands out for its high-flow processability, nucleated stability, and reactor-grade uniformity. Its Spheripol-based morphology delivers fast cycles, dimensional accuracy, and a robust mechanical profile suitable for demanding OEM and industrial applications. The grade’s food-contact compliance and batch-to-batch consistency make it a reliable choice for converters and compounders.

Applications & Industry Use Cases
Appliances & White Goods
M340 is widely used for appliance housings, washer components, AC grills, and other white goods parts where stiffness, thermal stability, and precise fit are required. Its nucleated structure ensures low warpage for snap-fit and high-gloss assemblies.
Automotive
Automotive OEMs and compounders use M340 for interior and exterior components, compounds, and non-structural parts where impact-stiffness balance and processability are critical. The grade’s flow and dimensional stability support complex geometries and high-volume production.
Thin-Wall Injection Moulding (TWIM)
M340’s high flow and nucleation make it ideal for TWIM of containers, tubs, and utility products. The grade enables lightweight designs, fast cycles, and consistent part quality in multi-cavity tooling.
Compounding
As a base resin for filler and masterbatch compounding, M340’s processability and reactor-grade consistency support efficient dispersion and uniform mechanical properties in custom PPCP blends.
Performance Advantages
Compared to non-nucleated or lower-MFI PPCP, Halene M340 delivers faster cycles, lower warpage, and superior dimensional accuracy. Its Spheripol reactor technology ensures batch consistency, while nucleation provides output gains and process reliability. M340 is competitive with Reliance Repol B400MN (38 MFI), IOCL Propel 3400MN (40 MFI), and HMEL CM40NR for thin-wall, appliance, and compounding applications.
Compliance, Packaging & Storage
Food Contact Compliance:
Certified to IS 10910 for food, pharma, and drinking water contact. Converter must validate final article compliance.
Packaging:
Natural granules in 25 kg bags.
Storage Guidelines:
Store dry, below 50°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture for optimal quality.
