Dow ENGAGE™ 8003 EL Polyolefin
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyolefin
Material Notes:	Product Description: ENGAGE™ 8003 EL Polyolefin Elastomer is an ethylene ocetene copolymer that has excellent flow characteristics and performs well in a wide variety of Wire & Cable elastomer applications. ENGAGE™ 8003 EL provides superb impact properties and also provides high filler loading capability and outstanding peroxide cure capability. When cross-linked by peroxide, silane, or irradiation, it gives exceptional heat ageing, compression set, and weather resistance properties, and may be used to produce high performance electrical insulation and jacketing. Main Characteristics: Pellet form Excellent flow characteristics High filler loading Peroxide, silane, and radiation curable Exceptional heat aging, compression set, and weather resistance when cured Applications: Wire & Cable Wire & Cable Blends Availability: Africa & Middle East; Europe; North America Uses: Blending; Building Wire Insulation; Building Wire Jacketing; Compounding; Low Voltage Insulation; Wire & Cable Applications Agency Ratings: FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 ©3.2c; EU No 10/2011; JHOSPA Form: Pellets Information provided by The Dow Chemical Company
