Dow ENGAGE™ 8180 R Polyolefin
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyolefin
Material Notes:	Product Description: ENGAGE™ 8180 RE Polyolefin Elastomer is a lower density, high performance ethylene-octene copolymer that has excellent flow characteristics and provides superb impact properties in blends with PP and PE. It is widely used in TPO applications where excellent flow temperature impact properties are desired. ENGAGE™ 8180 RE also provides high filler loading capability and excellent electrical properties. When cross-linked by peroxide, silane, or irradiation, it gives exceptional heat aging, compression set, and weather resistance properties. Main Characteristics: Pellet form Excellent flow characteristics Improved impact in polypropylene and polyethylene High filler loading Peroxide, silane, and radiation curable Exceptional heat aging, compression set, and weather resistance when cured Applications: General purpose thermoplastic elastomers Impact modification Thermoplastic olefins (TPO) Wire and cable Availability: Europe; North America Agency Ratings: FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 ©3.2; EU No 10/2011; ISCC PLUS Form: Pellets Information provided by The Dow Chemical Company
