Polyolefin Elastomers (POEs) are a type of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that are composed of polyolefin-based polymers. They are used in a variety of applications, including automotive, medical, and consumer products. POEs are known for their excellent flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance. They are also lightweight and have good electrical insulation properties. POEs are often used as a substitute for rubber, as they are more cost-effective and easier to process. POEs are produced by a variety of methods, including extrusion, injection molding, and compression molding. They can be blended with other polymers to create custom formulations that meet specific application requirements. POEs are also available in a range of colors and textures. The POE market is growing rapidly due to increasing demand for lightweight and durable materials. The automotive industry is a major consumer of POEs, as they are used in a variety of components, including seals, gaskets, and hoses. Some companies in the POE market include ExxonMobil, Dow Chemical, BASF, and LyondellBasell. Show Less Read more
