Spheripol II technology ensures tight molecular weight distribution, batch-to-batch uniformity, and property predictability. The random copolymer structure (1–7% ethylene) disrupts crystallinity, delivering superior clarity, gloss, and low-temperature impact resistance. The low MFI provides optimal melt strength for blow molding, preventing sagging and ensuring uniform wall thickness. All additives are FDA and IS 10910 listed for food and pharma packaging.
Applications & Industry Use Cases
Blow Molded Bottles & Containers
Propel 2020EC is the resin of choice for manufacturing milk bottles, water bottles, juice containers, and pharmaceutical bottles. Its high clarity and food-contact compliance ensure product safety and consumer appeal, while its >100 J/m impact strength delivers durability in handling and transport.
Sheet Extrusion & Thermoforming
Perfect for disposable food packaging, rigid trays, and thermoformed cups, Propel 2020EC’s processability, clarity, and dimensional stability enable efficient production of lightweight, attractive packaging for food service, retail, and medical device applications.
Industrial & Technical Applications
The grade’s chemical resistance and stiffness make it suitable for pipe and fitting systems, automotive trim, and injection-molded housewares. Its versatility supports converters seeking a single grade for multiple end uses.
Alternatives & Comparative Analysis
Comparable Grades:
- Reliance Repol R120MK (MFI 12, injection focus)
- Reliance Repol SRX100 (ultra-high clarity, ISBM)
- Haldia B200 (similar MFI, regional)
- HMEL Polysure RB02CR (clarified, blow molding)
Key Differentiators:
Propel 2020EC’s low MFI (1.9) is optimized for blow molding and extrusion, providing superior melt strength and clarity over higher-flow injection grades. IOCL’s government enterprise status ensures reliable pricing and supply, while Spheripol II technology delivers batch consistency. The grade is pre-certified for IS 10910 and FDA food contact, reducing customer compliance burden.
