ENGAGE™ - Polyolefin Elastomers

Improve Your Product’s Character

Produced by DOW Elastomers, a division of The Dow Chemical Company, ENGAGE™ Polyolefin Elastomers (POEs) offer a unique combination of toughness, resilience, and flexibility. These elastomers serve as a bridge between rubber and plastic chemistries, inspiring new design possibilities. As one of the first polymers to use INSITE™ technology, ENGAGE™ POEs provide exceptional performance with an unmatched balance of properties.

You can always count on ENGAGE™ POEs to deliver:

• Excellent impact resistance alone or in compounds
• Easy colourability
• Flexibility and toughness
• Great processing characteristics whether compounding, blending, or moulding
• Recyclability for in-process scrap re-use
• Excellent melt strength
   

When you have great characteristics, the sky is the limit.

Here are a few of this product’s best applications:

• Automotive rigid TPOs with outstanding low-temperature impact performance for interior and exterior applications, such as bumper fascia, instrument panels, body panels, and airbag covers
• Automotive interiors soft TPOs for excellent haptics and flexibility
• Wire and cable coatings with enhanced physical properties
• Footwear foams that are light and deliver excellent resiliency and cushioning to the shoe
• Moulded goods, such as packaging, toys, or other household items
• Profile extruded goods such as tubing that is flexible and transparent
• TPO roofing membrane that is flexible and tough
   

ENGAGE™ Polyolefin Elastomers are also the answer when you need a modifier that will help to make your product tough and resilient yet still flexible. With primary performance benefits including low density and light weight, easy mixing, forming, and processing on plastic or rubber equipment, recyclability for in-process scrap re-use, excellent melt strength and processability, and lower shrinkage, ENGAGE™ POEs are suitable for a wide range of applications.

Typical ENGAGE™ POE applications include:

• Automotive radiator hoses with improved high-temperature performance
• Auto interior modifiers for excellent feel
• Footwear foams that are light and deliver excellent resiliency and cushioning to the shoe
• Wire and cable coatings with enhanced physical properties
• Moulded goods such as toys or other household items
• Injection moulding with better thermal stability and heat resistance
• Improved impact resistance and low-temperature performance in thermoplastic polyolefins, such as TPO roofing and automotive bumper fascias
• P modification
   

ENGAGE™ Polyolefin Elastomers are available in various grades to meet your specific needs.
