APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Ethylene Octene Copolymer
EOC is an ethylene based elastomer, so it brings an excellent compatibility with polyolefins, such as polyethylene and PP. The presence of the octene monomer in EOC causes a lower level of crystallinity and a higher flexibility in the copolymer. EOC can be considered as an elastomeric polymer, and usually the octene content in the copolymer varies under 20 wt. %. Blends of PP/EOC may provide enhanced impact properties and can be used, for example, in extruded or moulded automotive exterior and interior parts, housing appliances, and other low-temperature applications. Pelletized EOC exhibits easy handling, mixing, and processability. Based on these properties, EOC is currently being used as an impact modifier of PP to replace ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) and ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM).
