ENGAGE™ 8402 is an ethylene-octene copolymer polyolefin elastomer from Dow, engineered for durable, flexible injection-molded industrial and consumer goods. It delivers high clarity for visual inspection, works with hot-runner molds to boost efficiency, and its low density cuts costs and reduces part weight.
Supplied in pellet form, compatible with automated injection molding for precise dosing and continuous production
High transparency, meeting requirements for products needing visual inspection to enhance appearance quality and traceability
Excellent flow properties, compatible with hot-runner molds to shorten cycle times and improve production efficiency
Low density, effectively reducing raw material and production costs while decreasing end-product weight
Compliant with EU and U.S. FDA food contact standards, suitable for high-safety applications
Injection-molded industrial durable components, such as seals, cushions, and equipment housings, balancing flexibility and durability
Consumer durable goods, including appliance handles, food container lids, and children's toy parts, meeting safety and appearance needs
Impact modifier for engineering plastics, enhancing low-temperature toughness of materials like polypropylene (PP)
Automotive interior parts, such as dashboard buffer layers and door seals, adapting to complex curved injection molding
Food contact products, like gaskets and container accessories, ensuring safety through regulatory compliance
