POE 8400: From Material Bottlenecks to Green Market Breakthroughs

In fields such as automobiles, home appliances, and consumer goods, lightweight, flexibility, durability, and environmental friendliness have become irreversible industry trends. However, traditional elastomer materials such as TPV and SEBS, although widely used, still face many technical bottlenecks in terms of processing performance, environmental protection attributes and comprehensive cost:

  ・TPV: Although it has good weather resistance, it is costly, has a high density, and the weight of the product is difficult to reduce.
  ・SEBS: It has good flexibility, but there are problems with insufficient heat resistance and long-term mechanical stability.

Therefore, seeking alternative materials with higher performance and greater economic efficiency and environmental friendliness has become a common demand for many enterprises.

01 | In line with the global trend, the technical advantages of POE material have become prominent

Dow POE 8400 material, as a new generation of ethylene-octene copolymer elastomer, fully responds to the demands of the plastic industry for "lightweight, flexible, durable and environmentally friendly" with the following characteristics:

Ultra-high fluidity: The melt index is as high as 30 g/10min, suitable for complex structure injection molding and calendering processes, improving production efficiency;

Outstanding flexibility and transparency: 1000% ultra-high elongation, excellent high definition, meeting the requirements of soft films and transparent products;

Lightweight assistance: Low specific gravity 0.870, significantly reducing the overall weight of the product;

Low-temperature impact resistance: The glass transition temperature is as low as -54°C, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments.

Excellent environmental protection compatibility: Halogen-free, supporting green, low-carbon and sustainable material solutions.

02 | Typical downstream applications focus on sustainable development
