ENGAGE™ 8540 is an ethylene-octene copolymer polyolefin elastomer from Dow, optimized for foam applications and tubing/hose profile extrusion. It offers good clarity, toughness, flexibility, excellent polyolefin compatibility for blending/coextrusion, and compliance with global food contact safety standards.
Supplied in pellet form, enabling automated production with precise dosing for processing stability
Balances high clarity and flexibility, meeting dual requirements for appearance and touch in foams and hoses
Excellent polyolefin compatibility, allowing efficient blending with PE, PP, etc., to expand material performance
High tear strength and impact resistance, enhancing durability and damage tolerance of foam products
Compliant with EU, Japanese, and U.S. FDA food contact standards, suitable for high-safety applications
Foam applications, including shoe midsoles, cushioning pads, and sound insulation cotton, providing light weight and shock absorption
Tubing and profile extrusion, such as food-grade hoses, medical catheters, and industrial delivery pipes, balancing clarity and flexibility
Polyolefin blending modification, enhancing low-temperature toughness and impact resistance of PP/PE for automotive interiors and home appliance parts
Coextruded composite products, like multi-layer hoses and packaging films, enabling performance layering via compatibility
Food contact foam containers and seals, ensuring safety through regulatory compliance
