POE Resin Overview - ExxonMobil POE 5061

In soft plastics applications, balancing toughness, impact resistance and low-temperature performance is always a concern for engineers. POE 5061 from ExxonMobil, with its scientific ethylene-octene copolymerisation design and metallocene-catalyzed process, is providing new options for the film, shoe and modified plastics industries.

01 | Technical Background: Metallocene Catalysis Reinvents the Elastic Gene

Unlike traditional polyolefin elastomers, POE 5061 uses a metallocene catalyst to control the structural distribution of the chain segments, significantly improving the material's physical toughness and low-temperature resilience. This ethylene-1-octene copolymer structure provides ultra-flexibility and good impact absorption, which opens up more possibilities for product design in a variety of fields.

02 | Rediscovering Flexible Materials: Product Characteristics of POE 5061

POE 5061 belongs to the family of metallocene polyolefin elastomers (poe resins), and has the following outstanding characteristics:

High ductility: 800% elongation at break, which maintains the structural integrity in the face of bending, stretching, and deformation, making it suitable for repeated stressful environments.

Excellent toughness and tear strength: 37 KN/m tear strength and 10MPa tensile strength at break, giving products good durability and reliability.

Low-temperature adaptability: Even in winter or cold environment, the material still remains soft and not easy to be brittle.

Lightweight and environmentally friendly: the specific gravity of 0.868g/cm³ helps to reduce the weight of the products, which is in line with the current trend of green manufacturing.

03 | More than one application: POE 5061's multi-field applications

With balanced mechanical and thermal properties, POE 5061 is widely used in:

✔ Film and packaging industry: Blown film, cast film, can effectively improve the flexibility and low temperature resistance of the product, to extend the service life.

✔ Footwear manufacturing: for soles and soft parts, improve comfort and cushioning effect, especially suitable for sports shoes, casual shoes field.

✔ Plastic modification programme: as a toughening agent widely used in PP, TPO and other modification systems, to enhance the impact resistance and low temperature performance of plastics, used in automotive interior and exterior, home appliance parts, etc.

✔ Extrusion and injection moulding: to meet the demand for flexibility of soft profiles and profiles, suitable for building decoration, soft wrapping edges, tubes and other products.
