IOCL PPRCP Propel 2120MC
IOCL Propel 2120MC is a high-clarity polypropylene random copolymer grade manufactured by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) under the PROPEL brand. Produced using Spheripol II technology, this natural-coloured resin is designed for injection moulding and ISBM, delivering exceptional clarity, balanced stiffness–impact properties, and efficient processing. IOCL’s integrated refining and polymer infrastructure ensures consistent supply, batch traceability, and robust technical support across India.
Propel 2120MC is classified as a PP random copolymer, not an impact copolymer, with HSN code 39023000 and CAS 9003-07-0. It is marketed under IOCL’s PROPEL brand, aligning with Indian and global regulatory standards for food and pharma packaging.
Technical Specifications and Material Properties
- Melt Flow Index: 12 g/10 min (ASTM D1238)
- Density:90 g/cm³ (ASTM D1505)
- Tensile Strength at Yield: ~34 MPa (ASTM D638)
- Elongation at Yield: ~12% (ASTM D638)
- Flexural Modulus: ~1100 MPa (ASTM D790)
- Notched Izod Impact: ~46 J/m (ASTM D256)

Spheripol II technology and random ethylene incorporation provide superior clarity, gloss, and a balanced stiffness–impact profile. The grade’s medium MFI enables thin-wall injection and ISBM productivity with reduced cycle times and energy consumption.
Applications and Industry Use Cases
Rigid Containers and Food Packaging
2120MC is ideal for injection-moulded rigid food containers, transparent jars, and packaging trays demanding clarity, stackability, and food-contact safety. Its compliance with IS 10910 and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 ensures suitability for food and pharma packaging.
Houseware and Household Products
The grade’s balanced modulus and impact strength make it a preferred choice for houseware, kitchenware, storage boxes, and organisers where clarity and durability are essential.
ISBM Bottles and Transparent Containers
Optimised for injection stretch blow moulding, 2120MC delivers glass-like clarity and drop resistance for ISBM bottles, personal care packaging, and display containers. Its flow properties support complex shapes and thin-wall designs.
Performance Advantages for Converters
2120MC offers converters high clarity and gloss, balanced stiffness and impact, lower processing temperatures for energy savings, and up to 15% cycle-time reduction. Its regulatory compliance, recyclability, and batch consistency support both manufacturing efficiency and sustainability goals.
Alternative and Comparable Grades in India
- Reliance Repol SRM100NC: 12 MFI, clarified PP random, direct competitor for rigid containers and ISBM with similar clarity and modulus.
- HMEL Polysure RM12CR: 12 MFI, Spheripol II-based, high-clarity random copolymer for injection/ISBM, strong in North India.
- Hyosung Topilene R601: International equivalent, 12 MFI, used in food containers, ISBM bottles.
Key Differentiators: Propel 2120MC’s Spheripol II process, Indian origin, and IOCL’s supply reliability set it apart. Compared to impact copolymers (PPCP), 2120MC offers superior clarity and is specifically optimised for rigid packaging, not heavy-duty crates or automotive parts.
