General Information
Product Description

ENGAGE™ 8407 Polyolefin Elastomer is an ethylene-octene copolymer that offers excellent performance in durable injection molded industrial and consumer goods and compression molded gaskets.

ENGAGE 8407 provides high clarity in products requiring visual inspection and allows the use of hot runner molds to enhance production efficiency. In addition, the low density can help control resin and production costs, while reducing the weight of end products. ENGAGE 8407 also provides good impact properties in blends with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), especially in applications requiring high melt flow modifiers.

Main Characteristics:
- Pellet form
- Excellent flow characteristics
- Improved impact in polypropylene and polyethylene
- Talc dusted (untreated, 1 µm)

Applications:
- Injection molded industrial and consumer durable goods
- Impact modification
