Dishwasher Durability

Tritan copolyester redefines durability – in and out of the dishwasher.

Dishwasher durability is a combination of three factors – all highlighting clear advantages for Tritan:

  • Hydrolytic stabilityTritan resists degradation and stress cracking in hot, wet dishwasher environments, even with cleaning solutions, surfactants and alkaline cleaning agents.
  • Chemical resistance – Like traditional copolyesters, Tritan has excellent chemical resistance properties, which allows it to maintain its physical properties when exposed to a broad array of foodstuffs, residential and commercial detergents, and sanitizers.
  • Residual stressTritan typically produces parts with lower levels of residual stress than PC, improving the durability of the molded article.

Tritan has demonstrated outstanding durability in actual residential and comercial diswasher applications.
