Lucene LC160
LUCENETM LC160 is an outstanding plastic impact modifier that provides unique properties for composite products.
Applications
- General-purpose thermoplastic elastomers for polymer modification.
- Automotive interior and exterior, shoe soles, wire and cable.
| Property | Test Method | Unit | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density | ASTM D1505 | g/cm3 | 0.863 |
| Melt Flow Rate (190°C, 2.16 kg) | ASTM D1238 | g/10 min | 0.5 |
Where Lucene LC160 fits
Lucene LC160 has a typical density of 0.863 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 LG Lucene 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 (0.863 g/cm³) and melt flow (0.5 g/10 min): ENGAGE™ 8180, ENGAGE™ 8187, Exact™ 9061 and Solumer 8605L. Comonomer, molecular-weight distribution and additive package still differ, so confirm with a short trial before you switch.
Documents and samples
Every shipment of Lucene LC160 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 LG Lucene POE grades or the full POE range, and send us your application for a quotation.
