ENGAGE™ 8180
ENGAGE™ 8180 is a high-performance ethylene-octene (EO) copolymer polyolefin elastomer (POE), designed to serve as an impact modifier in TPO formulations. This product is delivered in free-flowing pellet form.
| Property | Typical Value | Test Method |

| Density | 0.863 g/cm³ | ASTM D792 |
| Melt Flow Index (190°C / 2.16 kg) | 0.5 g/10 min | ASTM D1238 |
Where ENGAGE™ 8180 fits
ENGAGE™ 8180 has a typical density of 0.863 g/cm³ and a melt flow rate of 0.5 g/10 min (190 °C/2.16 kg), which makes it a soft, low-flow grade in the Dow ENGAGE range. Grades in this window are typically used for:
- Impact modification of PP and TPO compounds, especially for low-temperature toughness
- Extruded profiles, hoses, and wire and cable compounds
- Foams and soft compounds where melt strength matters
Similar grades from other producers
These grades share the same nominal density (0.863 g/cm³) and melt flow (0.5 g/10 min): Exact™ 9061, Lucene LC160 and Solumer 8605L. Comonomer, molecular-weight distribution and additive package still differ, so confirm with a short trial before you switch.
