Brief analysis on the popularity and application of POE in various industries
POE is a kind of ethylene -a olefin copolymer produced with metallocene catalyst. These are good inclusive to inorganic filler, and have good resilience and flexibility, and its hardness is very low, have a wide range of applications in various industries.
First, PP modified
POE had good resilience and flexibility, and its hardness is low, good cold resistance, so the POE elastomer is widely used for toughening PP, improve the impact strength of PP under normal temperature and low temperature, toughening PP application after modification, car bumper, car door plank, shell of household appliances, office stationery, storage battery and motorcycle plastic parts, etc.
Second, Foamed with EVA
The flexibility and resilience of POE and EVA are much higher than that of EVA. In many cases, POE and EVA foaming together will have a satisfactory effect. For example, the foaming products will have lighter weight, better compression and resilience, good tactile sensation, uniform and delicate foam holes, and high tear strength. Foam products such as beach shoes, slippers, middle soles of athletic shoes, mouse pad, seat cushion, styrofoam materials, thermal insulation materials, buffer sheet, and bag lining are all applications of POE in real life.
Third, PA and other engineering plastics toughening, compatibility agent
Although the non-polarity of POE makes it incompatible with engineering plastics such as PA and PET, POE can be successfully and effectively grafted with MAH, GMA, AA and other monomers through peroxides. The graft obtained is widely used to toughen engineering plastics such as PA and can also be used as compatibilizer in plastic alloys.
Fouth, Improve PP/PE return performance.
PP or PE material back again due to the degradation of processed or crosslinking, the PP/PE material back or shattered after the leftover material will become very fragile, not a lot of added or used directly, add POE blending granulation, or direct injection, will make the performance of PP/PE material back changes greatly, in a variety of applications such as plastic pallet, plastic turnover box, plastic toolbox, plastic office desks and chairs accessories, beach chairs, etc.
Fifth, Tube industry
In the hose industry, especially the extruded and wound bellows, the mixed use of EVA and POE results in more flexible, better flexion resistance, lighter products and better resistance to environmental stress. Added in the inner layer of the tube, the hose has anti-pollution sealing, the required heat sealing temperature is low and the heat sealing strength is higher! Widely used in vacuum cleaner hose, washing machine hose, drain pipe.
Sixth, Masterbatch or filling masterbatch
Because of the extremely low crystallinity of POE, it has good inclusion for filling and excellent fluidity, so that POE can be used as carrier or replace PE wax in color masterbatch or filling masterbatch, which greatly improves the quality of color masterbatch or filling masterbatch.
Seventh, Hot melt adhesive
POE can replace EVA to produce high-grade hot melt adhesive, and the product can achieve no peculiar smell, low density, high flow coating, good infiltration, etc. It can also be used with EVA!
Eighth, Halogen free flame retardant cable material
POE can be used to fill AL(OH)3 or MG(OH)2 in large quantities, and its change rate of hardness and strength is low. Therefore, it has become a trend to replace EVA or produce halogen-free flame retardant cable materials with EVA. POE can also be performed with peroxide or irradiation.
