Polyolefin Elastomers (POE) and Polyolefin Plastomers (POP) are relatively new type of Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) developed in the 1990s.
POE/POP are families of homogeneous Ethylene-based or Propylene-based Random Copolymer produced from Single-Site Catalysts that bridge the performance gap between conventional Polyolefins such as Polyethylene and conventional Elastomers like Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM).
The density of POP is typically in the range of density of 0.886 to 0.912 g/cm3 (which may vary depending on the source). Copolymer Resins with lower density from 0.860 to 886 g/cm3 are called POE.
Ethylene-based POE/POP are copolymerized from Ethylene and Linear Alpha-Olefin (LAO). LAOs such as 1-Butene, 1-Hexene, or 1-Octene are used.
Propylene-based POE typically are copolymerized from Propylene and Ethylene or 1-Butene.
Most of these Copolymers are produced by Solution Processes.
