Dow Engage® 8107 Polyolefin Elastomer

Subcategory: Elastomer, TPE; Thermoplastic

Close Analogs: This former DuPont Dow Elastomers product line is now produced by Dow Chemical.

Material Notes:
Description: Engage® 8107 polyolefin elastomer is a loose talc surface coated ethylene-octene copolymer. The talc is untreated and has a nominal 1µm particle size. This product offers the exceptional properties of Engage® 8100 with the added potential of handling these polymer pellets in rail cars. Engage® 8107 has excellent flow characteristics and performs well in a wide range of general purpose thermoplastic applications. It provides superb impact properties in blends with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). The talc addition significantly improves ability to handle the polymer, but severe blocking can occur if the material is stored under severe conditions (i.e., long duration, elevated temperatures, and/or high weight loadings). To minimize temperature effects, product should be stored at temperatures well below its melting point of 60°C.
