Description

Introduction

ENGAGE™ 8003 Polyolefin Elastomer is an ethylene-octene copolymer that has excellent flow characteristics and performs well in a wide variety of general purpose thermoplastic elastomer applications.

ENGAGE™ 8003 provides superb impact properties in blends with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).

It also provides high filler loading capability and outstanding peroxide cure capability.

When cross-linked by peroxide, silane, or irradiation, it gives exceptional heat aging, compression set, and weather resistance properties, and may be used to produce high performance electrical insulation and jacketing.
