Flexibility and Toughness for Many Applications
Combining the flexibility and toughness of synthetic rubber with the processibility of plastics, ENGAGE™ polyolefin elastomers can be used to modify other materials for impact resistance or improved low-temperature performance. It is the modifier of choice for automotive thermoplastic olefins (TPO) applications as well as auto interior components and innovative interior designs.
Benefits
- 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
Applications
The versatility of ENGAGRE polyolefin elastomers enable them to be used in NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) applications, as well as TPO skin applications such as instrument panels, knee bolsters, door panels, pillar moldings and console moldings.
Application Methods
ENGAGE polyolefin elastomers are applied with injection molding. Technical Service and Development is offered to assure proper application techniques.
