ENGAGE™ 8452 EL
ENGAGE™ 8452 EL polyolefin elastomer is an ethylene-octene copolymer offering outstanding toughness and softness. It offers excellent compatibility with other polyolefins, enabling highly efficient blending and co-extrusion. It has excellent flow properties and can be efficiently crosslinked via peroxide, silane, or radiation. After crosslinking, it exhibits outstanding heat aging resistance, compression set resistance, and weatherability.
| Property | Typical Value | Test Method |

| Density | 0.875 g/cm³ | ASTM D792 |
| Melt Flow Index (190°C / 2.16 kg) | 3.0 g/10 min | ASTM D1238 |
Where ENGAGE™ 8452 EL fits
ENGAGE™ 8452 EL has a typical density of 0.875 g/cm³ and a melt flow rate of 3 g/10 min (190 °C/2.16 kg), which makes it a semi-rigid, medium-flow grade in the Dow ENGAGE 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
