Dow ENGAGE 8401 Toughening Agent

ENGAGE 8401 Polyolefin Elastomer, an ethylene-octene copolymer, excels in the production of durable, flexible injection-molded industrial and consumer goods. It ensures high clarity for visual inspection, supports hot runner molds to enhance production efficiency, and lowers resin and production costs while reducing end-product weight through its low density.

Features Of Dow ENGAGE 8401 Toughening Agent

  1. Form & Handling: Available in pellet form for easy integration into injection molding workflows.

  2. Clarity & Efficiency: High clarity facilitates visual inspection; compatibility with hot runner molds boosts production speed.

  3. Cost & Weight Control: Low density (0.885 g/cm³) reduces material costs and end-product weight without compromising performance.

  4. Impact & Flexibility: Enhances impact resistance in durable goods; offers flexibility for applications requiring elasticity.

Typical Applications Of Dow ENGAGE 8401 Toughening Agent

  1. Durable Goods Manufacturing: Used in injection-molded industrial and consumer products (e.g., automotive parts, household appliances) that require both clarity and toughness.

  2. Impact Modification: Improves resilience in PP/PE blends, making it suitable for packaging, toys, and outdoor equipment.
