Description
Material Notes:
Engage® thermoplastic elastomers are ethylene octene copolymers produced via advanced INSITE™ catalyst and process technology, allowing control over polymer structure, properties, and rheology. Engage® features extended part/product life over Styrene Block Copolymers; improved flexibility and crck-resistance vs. EVA or EMA; improved processibilty and enhanced properties vs. flexible PVCs; and greater durability vs. EPDM or EPR. Property data below shows the range of typical properties.Information provided by DuPont Dow Elastomers.This former DuPont Dow Elastomers product line is now produced by Dow Chemical.
