ENGAGE™ 8842
ENGAGE™ 8842 is a high-performance ethylene-octene (EO) copolymer polyolefin elastomer (POE), designed for use as an impact modifier in TPO formulations to achieve maximum efficiency. It is a low-density polyolefin elastomer aimed at enhancing the impact performance of TPO compounds, particularly in applications requiring low-temperature elongation.
| Property | Typical Value | Test Method |
|---|---|---|
| Density | 0.857 g/cm³ | ASTM D792 |
| Melt Flow Index (190°C / 2.16 kg) | 1.0 g/10 min | ASTM D1238 |
Where ENGAGE™ 8842 fits
ENGAGE™ 8842 has a typical density of 0.857 g/cm³ and a melt flow rate of 1 g/10 min (190 °C/2.16 kg), which makes it a very 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 (0.857 g/cm³) and melt flow (1 g/10 min): FORTIFY™ C1055D, Solumer 851T and Solumer 8605. Comonomer, molecular-weight distribution and additive package still differ, so confirm with a short trial before you switch.
