Material Notes:

Description: Engage® 8401 polyolefin elastomer is an ethyleneoctene copolymer that offers excellent performance in durable, flexible injection molded industrial and consumer goods. Engage® 8401 provides high clarity in products requiring visual inspection and allows the use of hot runner molds to enhance production efficiency. In addition, its low density can help control resin and production costs, while reducing the weight of end products.Information provided by manufacturer.This former DuPont Dow Elastomers product line is now produced by Dow Chemical.
