IOCL PPCP Propel 3650MN
IOCL Propel 3650MN is a premium polypropylene impact copolymer (PPCP) from Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL), engineered for advanced injection moulding and compounding applications. Developed using Spheripol II technology, this heterophasic, nucleated grade stands out for its very high flow, medium impact resistance, and excellent processability. Propel 3650MN is supplied as natural-colour granules, offering a perfect balance of stiffness and impact for thin-wall, large, and complex moulded parts. Its melt flow index (MFI) of 65 g/10 min enables rapid mould filling, efficient cycle times, and outstanding dimensional stability, making it a top choice for automotive, appliance, houseware, and compounding industries. The grade is fully compliant with Indian and international food-contact regulations, ensuring safe use in sensitive applications.
Functional Features
IOCL Propel 3650MN is designed for manufacturers seeking speed, reliability, and regulatory confidence. Its high-flow nature supports thin-wall and intricate part production, while nucleation technology minimizes warpage and enhances surface finish. The grade’s medium impact and stiffness balance ensures robust performance in demanding end-uses. Consistent batch quality, ease of processing, and pan-India supply capability make Propel 3650MN a trusted solution for converters and OEMs alike.
Applications and Industry Use Cases
Appliance Parts and White Goods
Propel 3650MN is the preferred PPCP grade for manufacturers of appliance housings, grills, louvers, and internal components in washing machines, air coolers, and refrigerators. Its high flow enables the creation of thin-walled, complex shapes with minimal short-shots, while nucleated crystallization ensures dimensional stability and a premium surface finish. The grade’s chemical resistance makes it ideal for components exposed to detergents and household chemicals, ensuring long-term durability in everyday use.
Automotive Components and Compounds
In the automotive sector, 3650MN is widely used for interior trims, pillar covers, ventilation grills, and HVAC ducts. Its medium impact strength and rigidity are perfectly suited for non-structural covers and under-the-hood housings, especially when compounded with mineral fillers for additional performance. The high-flow property allows for efficient moulding of large or intricate parts, supporting design flexibility and faster production cycles.
Houseware, Industrial, and Compounding
For houseware and industrial applications, Propel 3650MN excels in producing storage bins, baskets, tubs, and containers where thin walls and complex ribbing are required. The grade’s processability simplifies moulding and reduces the risk of warpage or sink marks. In the compounding industry, 3650MN serves as a high-flow base resin for colour masterbatches and mineral-filled PPCP compounds, offering superior dispersion and compatibility.
Compliance, Food Contact, and Documentation
Propel 3650MN is certified to meet IS: 10910 and IS: 10909 standards for polypropylene and its copolymers used in contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, and drinking water. The grade is also compliant with US FDA CFR Title 21, 177.1520 for olefin polymers, expanding its suitability to global markets. Every batch is supplied with a full suite of technical documentation, including Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Certificate of Analysis (COA), and regulatory compliance letters on request. This robust compliance profile ensures peace of mind for converters and end-users in sensitive applications.
Packaging, Storage, and Logistics
IOCL Propel 3650MN is supplied in durable 25 kg raffia bags, designed to meet BIS minimum strength requirements for safe handling and storage. To maintain material integrity, bags should be stored in dry, closed environments away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Prolonged exposure to UV should be avoided to prevent bag degradation and spillage. JITSY offers pan-India logistics support, with rapid dispatch from strategically located warehouses in Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and other industrial hubs. Export-ready documentation and containerization options are available for international buyers.
