OPaL PPCP Opalene MI70N

OPaL Opalene MI70N is a high-flow, nucleated polypropylene impact copolymer (PPCP) developed by ONGC Petro additions Ltd (OPaL) using advanced Ineos Gas Phase technology. Engineered as a 70 MFI heterophasic block copolymer, MI70N excels in thin-walled injection moulding (TWIM), compounding, and demanding industrial applications. Its nucleated formulation delivers low warpage, fast crystallisation, and excellent dimensional stability, while its natural-grade purity ensures compliance and performance for regulated markets. MI70N is supplied as natural granules in robust 25 kg bags, with recommended storage in dry, UV-protected environments to maintain optimal quality.

Functional Features (Industry Authority)

Opalene MI70N is designed for converters seeking exceptional processability and part performance. The high melt flow rate (70 g/10 min) enables rapid mould filling in thin-wall and complex geometries, reducing cycle times and energy consumption. Nucleation technology minimizes warpage and shrinkage, supporting precision in snap-fits and visible components. The grade’s balanced impact and stiffness profile, coupled with excellent electrical and alkali resistance, makes it ideal for automotive, appliance, and industrial applications. MI70N’s compliance with IS 10910, IS 16738:2018, and FDA CFR 21 177.1520 ensures regulatory confidence for food, pharma, and drinking water contact.

Applications & Industry Insights

Thin-Walled Injection Moulding

MI70N’s high MFI and nucleation deliver outstanding performance in thin-walled containers, cups, and packaging, where rapid mould filling and high gloss are essential. The grade’s low warpage and dimensional accuracy ensure reliable snap-fits and consistent part quality, even in challenging geometries.

Appliances & Consumer Durables

Appliance manufacturers rely on MI70N for housings, internal components, and covers that demand chemical resistance, low warpage, and robust impact performance. Its processability supports high-cavitation tooling and complex part designs, making it a preferred material for white goods and small appliances.

Automotive & Industrial Parts

In automotive and industrial sectors, MI70N is valued for its electrical and alkali resistance, supporting the production of under-hood components, connectors, housings, and compounded parts. Its balance of stiffness and impact strength enables reliable performance in both functional and aesthetic applications.

Compounding & Masterbatch

As a base resin for masterbatches and mineral-filled compounds, MI70N’s high flow supports efficient dispersion and process consistency, enabling the creation of custom PPCP blends for specialized requirements.

Performance Advantages

Compared to lower-MFI PPCP grades, MI70N offers superior processability, faster cycle times, and reduced risk of short-shots in thin-wall and long-flow-path parts. Its nucleation delivers lower warpage and improved surface quality, which is especially valuable for visible and precision-moulded components. MI70N’s electrical and alkali resistance further differentiates it from competitor grades, making it suitable for applications where environmental durability is critical.

Compliance & Documentation

Opalene MI70N is certified to IS 10910 for food, pharma, and drinking water contact, and aligns with IS 16738:2018 and FDA CFR 21 177.1520 standards. Each batch is supplied with a Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Certificate of Analysis (COA), and regulatory compliance letters upon request. This robust documentation supports regulatory submissions and quality assurance for converters and OEMs.

Packaging & Storage

MI70N is delivered in strong 25 kg bags, designed for safe handling and storage. To preserve material quality, store bags in dry, covered spaces below 50°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
