POE – Polyolefin Elastomer

Product Overview

POE – Polyolefin Elastomer
POE (Polyolefin Elastomer) is a class of thermoplastic elastomers produced mainly by the copolymerization of ethylene with octane, butane, or hexane. These materials combine the flexibility and softness of rubber with the processability and recyclability of thermoplastics.

POE is widely used as a performance modifier, impact resistance enhancer, or flexible matrix across a wide range of industries, including automotive, packaging, wire & cable, footwear, and adhesives.
