Ethylene-co-Octene (ECO) is a copolymer composed of ethylene and octene. It is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that combines the elastic properties of rubber with the processability of thermoplastic materials. It is known for its excellent flexibility, fatigue resistance, and gas barrier properties.
