ENGAGE™ 8157
ENGAGE™ 8157 offers excellent flow characteristics and outstanding impact performance when blended with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). It is widely used in TPO applications requiring superior low-temperature impact performance.
| Property | Typical Value | Test Method |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 0.868 g/cm³ | ASTM D792 |
| Melt Flow Index (190°C / 2.16 kg) | 0.5 g/10 min | ASTM D1238 |
Where ENGAGE™ 8157 fits
ENGAGE™ 8157 has a typical density of 0.868 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 (0.868 g/cm³) and melt flow (0.5 g/10 min): Exact™ 5061, Lucene LC161, FORTIFY™ C05075DF, FORTIFY™ C0570D, Solumer 8705L, Queo 6800LA and WANSUPER 5007. Comonomer, molecular-weight distribution and additive package still differ, so confirm with a short trial before you switch.
