ENGAGE Polyolefin Elastomers

When you need a modifier that will help to make your product tough and resilient while flexible at the same time, ENGAGE™ Polyolefin Elastomers are the answer. ENGAGE™ provides exceptional performance with an unmatched balance of properties. As one of the first polymers to use INSITE™ technology, the innovative polymer serves as a bridge between rubber and plastic to inspire new design possibilities.

Applications:

• Auto interior modifier for excellent feel
• Wire and cable coatings with enhanced physical properties
• Footwear foams that save producers money and give low specific gravity and cushioning to the shoe
• Molded goods such as toys or other household items
• Injection molding with better thermal stability and heat resistance
• Improved impact resistance and low temperature performance in thermoplastic polyolefins, such as TPO roofing and automotive bumper fascia

Characteristics:

• Excellent impact resistance
• Easy colorability
• Tough yet flexible
• Low density and light weight
• Easy mixing, forming and processing on plastic or rubber equipment
• Recyclable for in-process scrap re-use
• Excellent melt strength and processability
