LyondellBasell PPCP Moplen EP546U

LyondellBasell Moplen EP546U is a nucleated heterophasic polypropylene impact copolymer (PPCP) designed for high-performance injection moulding. Engineered with a very high melt flow index (70 g/10 min), Moplen EP546U delivers outstanding fluidity, enabling the production of thin-walled, complex parts with remarkable efficiency and surface finish. The nucleated formulation accelerates crystallisation, reducing cycle times and improving dimensional stability. Antistatic additivation ensures dust-free, clean processing and handling—making this grade ideal for food packaging, housewares, and hygiene-critical applications. Moplen EP546U is supplied as natural granules (density 0.90 g/cm³), fully compliant with EU 10/2011 and FDA food-contact regulations.

Functional Features

Moplen EP546U stands out for its processability and mechanical balance. The high MFI supports rapid mould filling and lightweight design in thin-wall containers, while nucleation technology ensures consistently short cycle times and minimal warpage. The grade’s stiffness-impact balance allows it to perform in both rigid and semi-flexible applications. Antistatic properties prevent dust attraction and support hygiene in food and medical packaging. Its compliance with global food-contact standards enables safe use in regulated markets.

Applications & Industry Insights

Thin-Wall Packaging & Food Containers

Moplen EP546U is engineered for high-speed production of thin-wall tubs, yoghurt pots, and margarine containers. Its high flow ensures rapid, complete mould filling, while antistatic and nucleation technologies deliver glossy, rigid, and hygienic packaging. The grade’s dimensional stability supports snap-fits and lightweight designs, making it a preferred choice for food and dairy packaging.

Housewares & Rigid Containers

Houseware manufacturers leverage Moplen EP546U for kitchenware, storage solutions, and opaque containers. Its stiffness-impact balance provides durability and resistance to everyday use, while nucleation reduces shrinkage and improves part consistency in multi-cavity moulds.

Sports, Leisure, and Toys

The grade’s mechanical performance and processability make it suitable for sports equipment, toy components, and leisure products, where safety, impact resistance, and visual appeal are critical.

Performance Advantages

Compared to non-nucleated or lower-MFI PPCP, Moplen EP546U offers higher output, shorter cycles, and superior surface quality in thin-wall and complex mouldings. Its antistatic and nucleated formulation sets it apart from competitors like Borouge BJ368MO and Reliance B650MN, especially for food packaging and hygiene-sensitive applications.

Compliance & Documentation

Moplen EP546U complies with EU 10/2011 and FDA food-contact requirements, with positive lists for all additives. Each batch is supplied with a Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Certificate of Analysis (COA), and regulatory compliance letters on request. Converters are responsible for verifying final article compliance under their specific use conditions.

Packaging & Storage

Supplied in robust 25 kg bags, Moplen EP546U should be stored dry and protected from dust and sunlight to preserve material quality. JITSY ensures pan-India logistics, reliable stock, and export-ready documentation for global buyers.
