ENGAGE™ 8137
Polyolefin Elastomer
® ™ Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) or an affiliated company of Dow.
Overview
ENGAGE™ 8137 Polyolefin Elastomer is an ethylene-octene copolymer with low density and a high melt index. This
combination provides excellent toughness, flexibility, and ease in processing and makes ENGAGE 8137 highly
effective as an impact modifier in polyolefins or as a component in injection molding applications.
Main Characteristics:
• Pellet form
• Low density
• Excellent flow characteristics
• Toughness, flexibility
• Talc dusted (untreated, 1 μm)
Applications:
• Injection molded industrial and consumer durable goods
• Impact modification
