With the launch of Eastman Tritan™ copolyester, Eastman is even better prepared to provide a “total solutions” approach to the needs of the medical device industry. A higher-heat-resistant, medical-grade copolyester, new Tritan™ possesses a unique balance of design, processing and physical properties. This extraordinary balance provides processing and functional advantages over traditional copolyesters and other medical-grade polymers used in molded medical devices.

Eastman Tritan™ copolyester exhibits the advantages of traditional copolyesters for applications that demand superior chemical resistance, clarity and hydrolytic stability. In addition, for applications that require easier processability and greater durability, Tritan™ performs comparable to, or superior than, polycarbonate and other medical-grade polymers.
