Polyolefin Elastomer
Overview
ENGAGE 8200 Polyolefin Elastomer is an ethylene-octene copolymer that has excellent flow characteristics and
performs well in a wide range of general purpose thermoplastic elastomer applications.
ENGAGE 8200 provides superb impact properties in blends with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), especially
in applications requiring slightly higher melt flow. ENGAGE 8200 also provides high filler loading capability, excellent
electrical properties, and (when cross-linked) exceptional heat aging, compression set, and weather resistance
properties.
