Solumer 8605L

Solumer™ 8605L performs well across a wide range of general-purpose thermoplastic elastomer applications and features excellent flow properties.

Applications

General-purpose thermoplastic elastomer

Wire and cable

Impact modification

Footwear

Density ASTM D792 g/cm³ 0.863
Melt Flow Rate (190°C, 2.16kg) ASTM D1238 g/10min 0.5

Where Solumer 8605L fits

Solumer 8605L 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 SK SOLUMER 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 Lucene LC160. Comonomer, molecular-weight distribution and additive package still differ, so confirm with a short trial before you switch.
