POE (Polyolefin Elastomer) is a type of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that combines the properties of both elastomers and polyolefins. It is characterized by its excellent flexibility, low-density properties, and high resistance to heat, UV radiation, and chemicals. POE is used in various industries, including automotive, packaging, and consumer goods, due to its unique blend of durability and elasticity.
