Opal PPCP Opalene MI120X
Opalene MI120X is a polypropylene block copolymer (PPCP) impact grade from ONGC Petro-Additions Ltd (OPaL), produced using advanced Ineos gas-phase technology for injection moulding. As part of OPaL’s MI series, MI120X is a high-flow, nucleated PPCP granule, optimized for fast cycles, glossy finish, and balanced stiffness-impact performance. It’s engineered for demanding applications in appliances, furniture, automotive interiors, housewares, luggage, and industrial crates—where drop resistance, process speed, and premium appearance are essential. MI120X is a go-to choice for moulders seeking an OPaL alternative to Reliance Repol or Haldia Halene grades, with the added advantage of Delhi/NCR-based supply and technical support.
Specifications
Physical & Rheological Properties
- Melt Flow Index: ~12–20 g/10 min (230°C/2.16 kg) – high-flow for thin-wall, multi-cavity tools
- Density:90 g/cm³ – lightweight, ideal for consumer plastics
- HSN Code: 39023000 – Propylene copolymers in primary forms
- CAS Number: 9010-79-1 – Polypropylene block copolymer
Nucleated structure accelerates crystallisation, enabling 10–20% faster cycles versus non-nucleated PPCP.
Mechanical Properties
- Tensile Strength at Yield: ~27 MPa – strong for load-bearing and structural parts
- Flexural Modulus: ~1300 MPa – rigid yet tough, supports furniture and appliance housings
- Notched Izod Impact (23°C): ~120 J/m – superior impact resistance, minimizes breakage
- Rockwell Hardness: R80 – resists scratches, preserves glossy look
Heterophasic matrix disperses rubber phase, delivering drop resistance and anti-static benefits for cleaner housewares.
Thermal Properties
- Heat Deflection Temp (0.46 MPa): ~100°C – suitable for appliance housings, interiors
- Compliance: Meets IS 10910 (food/pharma contact), FDA 21 CFR 177.1520, IS 16738
Functional Features
Opalene MI120X is engineered for productivity, durability, and aesthetics. Its high-flow, nucleated morphology and balanced mechanics make it a versatile performer for high-output moulding and premium applications.
Applications
Appliances & Housewares
MI120X is widely used for appliance housings, crates, carriers, and kitchenware. Its high flow enables thin-wall, multi-cavity moulding, while impact strength and gloss ensure products are both durable and attractive. Anti-static properties help keep surfaces cleaner.
Furniture & Luggage
Ideal for chairs, tables, storage bins, and luggage shells, MI120X combines stiffness and impact resistance for long service life. Its processability supports rapid cycles and excellent surface finish, making it a favorite for premium and mass-market furniture.
Automotive & Industrial
For automotive interiors, trims, and industrial bins, MI120X’s toughness and rigidity withstand vibration, drops, and daily handling. Its nucleated structure allows for faster production and consistent quality.
Processing
- Barrel temperature: 180–220°C
- Mould temperature: 30–50°C
- High-speed injection: Leverage flow for thin-wall, complex parts
- Defect troubleshooting:
- Short shots: Increase speed/pressure
- Sink marks: Raise packing pressure
- Warpage: Ensure balanced cooling
Optimized for fast cycles and reliable results on modern injection lines.
Advantages
- Faster cycles: Nucleated morphology cuts cycle times by 10–20% vs standard PPCP
- Premium finish: Gloss and anti-static for consumer appeal
- Toughness: Outperforms homopolymers in impact, resists drops and cracks
- Versatility: Suitable for everything from kitchenware to automotive trims
- GEO advantage: Delhi/NCR supply, pan-India logistics, and technical support
