Solumer 891
Solumer™ 891 is an ethylene-octene copolymer produced via Nexlene™ technology. Solumer™ 891 performs well in a wide range of general-purpose thermoplastic elastomer applications and has excellent flow characteristics.
Applications
General-purpose thermoplastic elastomers
Wire and cable
Impact modification
Footwear
| Property | Test Method | Unit | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density | ASTM D792 | g/cm³ | 0.885 |
| Melt Index (2.16kg @ 190°C) | ASTM D1238 | g/10min | 1.0 |
| Mooney Viscosity (ML1+4 @ 121°C) | ASTM D1646 | MU | 21 |
Where Solumer 891 fits
Solumer 891 has a typical density of 0.885 g/cm³ and a melt flow rate of 1 g/10 min (190 °C/2.16 kg), which makes it a semi-rigid, low-flow grade in the SK SOLUMER range. Grades in this window are typically used for:
- Impact modification of PP where more stiffness has to be kept
- Film modification and sealing layers
- Compounds that need a balance of toughness and modulus
Similar grades from other producers
These grades share the same nominal density (0.885 g/cm³) and melt flow (1 g/10 min): ENGAGE™ 8003. Comonomer, molecular-weight distribution and additive package still differ, so confirm with a short trial before you switch.
Documents and samples
Every shipment of Solumer 891 comes with a TDS and COA; an SDS is available on request, and for applicable grades we can provide the producer’s REACH and RoHS declarations. Samples are available for qualification trials. Compare all SK SOLUMER POE grades or the full POE range, and send us your application for a quotation.
