Solumer 891 SK Nexlene High Melt Strength POE, Wire & Shoe Grade
Density: 0.885 g/cm³
MFR (190℃/2.16kg): 1.0 g/10min
Form: Natural White Pellets
✅ Multi-purpose POE Material for Cable Insulation & Shoe Foaming Compounds
Solumer™ 891 is an ethylene-octene copolymer polyolefin elastomer produced under SK proprietary Nexlene metallocene technology. Characterized by low melt flow rate and outstanding melt strength, this universal grade delivers steady extrusion performance, great cold resistance and high elongation. It serves as core raw material for cable insulating layers, foamed shoe materials and impact modifiers for polyolefin plastics.
🔹 Genuine SK Stock Supply & Custom Extrusion Technical Support
We maintain continuous spot inventory of Solumer 891 general POE. Cable and footwear compound manufacturers can apply for trial pellets, along with official TDS and SDS documents. Reach out to our team to acquire bulk pricing and tailored extrusion processing suggestions.
Unlike the PV-specialized Solumer 885V designed for solar encapsulant films, Solumer 891 is engineered for universal extrusion applications including wire sheathing, shoe sole foaming and rigid plastic toughening. Its long molecular chain brings remarkable melt strength to avoid sagging during extrusion, creating uniform closed-cell structures for footwear. The extremely low glass transition point preserves consistent elasticity even under low-temperature operating environments.
The material exhibits excellent miscibility when blended with PP, PE and EVA resins. Balanced tensile and tear strength effectively extends the service lifespan of finished cable and footwear products.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the targeted application field of Solumer™ 891?
Solumer 891 is a universal POE grade developed for cable insulation, shoe foaming materials and plastic impact modification. Its high melt strength enables stable performance in various extrusion manufacturing processes.
What core differences exist between Solumer 891 and Solumer 885V?
Solumer 891 features 1.0 MFR and high melt strength for general extrusion scenarios including cable and footwear production. Solumer 885V with 5.0 MFR is customized exclusively for photovoltaic encapsulant films, equipped with ultra-high volume resistivity and high light transmittance. These two grades cannot replace each other in production.
Why does high melt strength bring advantages for cable and shoe production?
Low melt flow rate paired with high melt strength avoids melt sagging during extrusion. It ensures consistent wall thickness of cable sheaths and uniform bubble structure in foamed shoe materials, stabilizing finished product quality.
Can Solumer 891 be adopted to produce solar PV encapsulant film?
Not suitable for this application. Its formulation is optimized for extrusion toughness and foaming performance; Solumer 885V is the dedicated POE material for photovoltaic packaging with unique electrical insulation and light transmission properties.
What is the standard packaging specification of Solumer 891?
25kg kraft paper bag with inner PE lining, filled with natural white POE pellets.
Is free trial sample supply available for Solumer 891?
Manufacturers engaged in cable compounding and footwear production can apply for small trial pellet samples, together with complete TDS, SDS documents and professional extrusion technical guidance.
