ENGAGE™ polyolefin elastomer (POE) produced by DOW Elastomers, a division of the US based The Dow Chemical Company, is a unique polyolefin elastomer.
It was one of the first polymers produced using INSITE™ technology and innovatively serves as a bridge between rubber and plastic, helping to inspire new design possibilities.
ENGAGE™ Polyolefin Elastomers are also the answer when you need a modifier that will help to make your product tough and resilient yet still flexible.
