POE

Polyolefin elastomer

POE is a metallocene ethylene-octene copolymer and the most common impact modifier for polypropylene and polyethylene. Its very low density, cold flexibility and easy blending have made it standard in automotive PP compounds. It is also used in foam, cable and solar-panel encapsulant film.

Overview

POE is the standard grade of the POE family in the elastomers group. It is used in applications such as impact modifier for pp bumpers and trim, solar-panel encapsulant film, foam and sports goods. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for POE are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
