Opal PPRCP Opalene MR12C
Opal PPRCP Opalene MR12C is a clarified polypropylene random copolymer (PPRCP) manufactured by ONGC Petro additions Limited (OPaL) using INEOS gas-phase polymerisation technology at Dahej. MR12C delivers high clarity, balanced stiffness and impact, anti-static properties, and food-contact compliance (IS 10910). It is positioned for injection moulding and ISBM applications in premium packaging, houseware, and clear plastic goods.
MR12C is a flagship random copolymer in the Opalene MR series, offering converters a reliable, high-clarity, and process-friendly PPRCP for regulated packaging and household applications.
Technical Specifications and Material Properties
- Melt Flow Index: ~12 g/10 min (230°C/2.16 kg)
- Tensile Yield Strength: ~33 MPa
- Clarity/Gloss: High, clarified
- Stiffness–Impact Balance: Good modulus and toughness
- Processing: Injection/ISBM, typical barrel 190–250°C
- Anti-static: Yes
- Food-contact Compliance: IS 10910
Applications and Industry Use Cases
High-Clarity Rigid Containers and Houseware
MR12C is ideal for injection-moulded and ISBM rigid food containers, kitchenware, and household storage products demanding clarity, gloss, and safe food contact.
ISBM Bottles and General Plastics
The grade excels in ISBM bottles and jars for food, personal care, and beverages, combining visual appeal with easy demoulding and anti-static finish for shelf hygiene.
When to Prefer PPRCP Over PPCP/Homo PP
MR12C should be chosen over generic PP homopolymer or PPCP when high clarity, gloss, and safe food-contact compliance are required, especially for premium packaging and regulated applications.
Alternative and Comparable PPRCP Grades in India
- Opalene MR12C (OPaL): High clarity, anti-static, IS 10910, injection + ISBM
- Reliance Repol SRX100: Ultra-high clarity, antistatic, houseware & ISBM
- Reliance Repol SRM100NC: High-clarity containers, syringes
- IOCL Propel 2120MC: Clarified random copolymer for containers & ISBM
- HMEL Polysure RM12CR: High-clarity containers, labware, ISBM, low cycle time
Key Differentiators: MR12C’s strengths are its INEOS technology pedigree, high clarity, anti-static behaviour, and food-contact compliance, making it the go-to grade for converters seeking reliable, clear, and process-efficient PPRCP.
