Polyolefin Elastomer POE 8150 Overview
As material formulations become increasingly complex, a truly "multi-adaptable" elastomer is rare. Dow POE 8150, as an polyolefin elastomer poe, precisely connects to the increasingly stringent requirements for performance and process compatibility in current fields such as wires and cables, modified masterbatches, and automotive TPO applications.
01 | Positioning upgrade: more than just an "elastomer"
The core advantage of polyolefin elastomer POE 8150 is not just softness. It is more like a "functional structural material":
・Cross-linkable: supports heat aging tolerance and deformation resistance scenarios, such as high-temperature cables;
・High filling capacity: 0.5 MI high fluidity, can carry more talcum powder, calcium carbonate and other fillers without brittle cracking;
・Stress relief structure: 810% ultra-high elongation at break, suitable for frequently stressed parts;
・Weather-resistant formula: UV resistance, aging resistance, outdoor components/building auxiliary materials are more assured;
・Thermal performance balance: Vicat 46°C + glass transition temperature -52°C, strong compatibility with cold and hot shocks.
02 | The change of material "thinking mode": from filling function to structural integration
Unlike traditional polyolefin elastomer POE which is only used as a toughening agent for PP or PE, POE 8150 is more suitable for design at the structural level. When designing composite materials, it can be used as:
・Matrix material: forming a continuous phase with PP, TPE or EVA;
・Flexible bridge: connecting rigid resin and flexible elastomer to achieve transition;
・Buffer layer: absorbing thermal expansion and contraction, external force impact and vibration transmission;
・Encapsulation/coating adhesive layer: used for precision structures such as electrical connections or sensor cables.
03 | Application advancement: practical deconstruction of three scenarios
Cable insulation sheath upgrade and transformation
・Customer pain point: existing materials are easy to break under high filling + cross-linking system;
・Solution: polyolefin elastomer poe 8150 replaces traditional EVA+PE with its excellent fluidity + fracture toughness;
・Effect improvement: reduce crack generation and extend cable life by more than 30%
Main carrier resin in modified masterbatch
・In high-filler systems, POE 8150 is superior to low-MI POE and can be used as a flexible main phase;
・Realize "durable and non-collapse" modified particles, suitable for thermoplastic foaming and medium and high temperature calendering.
Foaming buffer structure components
・In flexible brackets, shock pads or seal applications, it can be used with DCP to construct cross-linked elastic foam materials;
・Tear strength 37.3 KN/m + Shore A70, providing a rigid and flexible touch and structural strength.
