ENGAGE™ 8200
ENGAGE™ 8200 is particularly useful and highly effective when low-temperature toughness needs to be improved in polypropylene or polyethylene. The POE resin offers excellent flow properties and can be efficiently crosslinked via peroxide, silane, or radiation. After crosslinking, it exhibits outstanding compression set resistance and weatherability. It is also suitable for hot melt adhesive formulations.
| Property | Typical Value | Test Method |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 0.870 g/cm³ | ASTM D792 |
| Melt Flow Index (190°C / 2.16 kg) | 5.0 g/10 min | ASTM D1238 |
Where ENGAGE™ 8200 fits
ENGAGE™ 8200 has a typical density of 0.870 g/cm³ and a melt flow rate of 5 g/10 min (190 °C/2.16 kg), which makes it a soft, medium-flow grade in the Dow ENGAGE range. Grades in this window are typically used for:
- General-purpose PP and TPO impact modification
- Injection-moulded soft-touch and flexible parts
- Wire and cable compounds and footwear foams
Similar grades from other producers
These grades share the same nominal density (0.870 g/cm³) and melt flow (5 g/10 min): Lucene LC670. Comonomer, molecular-weight distribution and additive package still differ, so confirm with a short trial before you switch.
Documents and samples
Every shipment of ENGAGE™ 8200 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 Dow ENGAGE POE grades or the full POE range, and send us your application for a quotation.
