OPaL PPCP Opalene MI08N
OPaL Opalene MI08N is a heterophasic polypropylene (PP) block copolymer (PPCP), natural coloured and nucleated, produced using Ineos Gas Phase technology. MI08N offers faster moulding cycles thanks to nucleation, a robust impact–stiffness balance for long-lasting durability, and antistatic properties for clean processing and dust-resistant surfaces. It is engineered for injection moulding of crates, paint pails, luggage, and furniture, making it a top choice for OEMs and moulders in Delhi/NCR and across India seeking productivity and performance.
Specifications
Physical & Mechanical Properties

Deep Technical Insights
- Nucleated morphology: Accelerates crystallization, enabling faster demoulding and higher productivity in multi-cavity tools.
- Antistatic agent: Reduces dust attraction, supporting clean painting and assembly—vital for furniture and packaging.
- Impact–stiffness synergy: 120 J/m impact and 1200 MPa modulus ensure products withstand drops, stacking, and daily handling.
- Ineos Gas Phase process: Delivers batch-to-batch consistency and reliable mechanicals for demanding OEM and industrial applications.
Applications
Crates & Paint Pails
MI08N is ideal for crates and stackable paint pails, providing the impact resistance and modulus needed to survive transport, stacking, and rough industrial use. The antistatic property helps keep surfaces clean and free from dust during storage and filling.
Luggage
For injection-moulded luggage shells, MI08N’s impact–stiffness balance ensures robust protection against drops and knocks, while nucleation supports fast cycles and high-volume production.
Furniture
Chairs, tables, and modular furniture benefit from MI08N’s structural strength and clean finish, with antistatic properties supporting painting and assembly in dust-prone environments.
Processing
- Barrel temperature: 180–230°C
- Mould temperature: Standard for PP copolymers
- Processing tips: Medium flow and nucleation support efficient multi-cavity moulding and rapid demoulding; antistatic aids in dust-free production
- Cycle time: Optimized for productivity in high-volume furniture, crate, and pail moulding
