Case Studies

Eastman Tritan copolyester stirs up the industry by standing up to cleansers and dishwasher environments.

Tritan has demonstrated outstanding durability in actual residential and commercial dishwasher applications in most applications, thanks to superior inherent stress crack resistance and chemical resistance; greater hydrolytic stability; and potentially lower levels of residual stress.

 

Case Studies
Case Study 1: Tritan provides greater dishwasher stress crack resistance.
In one test comparing Tritan with PC, PC parts developed cracks and crazes after 100 dishwasher cycles while parts made from Tritan maintained appearance and integrity after more than 500 cycles. » more
