ENGAGE™ 8180 RE

Generic Family: Thermoplastic Polyolefin Elastomer • Supplied by: The Dow Chemical Company
ENGAGE™ 8180 RE Polyolefin Elastomer is a lower density, high performance ethylene-octene copolymer that has excellent flow characteristics and provides superb impact properties in blends with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). It is widely used in TPO applications where excellent flow temperature impact properties are desired.

ENGAGE 8180 RE also provides high filler loading capability and excellent electrical properties. When cross-linked by peroxide, silane, or irradiation, it gives exceptional heat aging, compression set, and weather resistance properties.

Main Characteristics:
  • Pellet form
  • Excellent flow characteristics
  • Improved impact in polypropylene and polyethylene
  • High filler loading
  • Peroxide, silane, and radiation curable
  • Exceptional heat aging, compression set, and weather resistance when cured

Applications:
  • General purpose thermoplastic elastomers
  • Impact modification
  • Thermoplastic olefins (TPO)
  • Wire and cable

Complies with:
  • EU, No 10/2011
  • U.S. FDA 177.1520(c)3.2c
  • ISCC PLUS certification for bio-based plastics
