Eastman Tritan™ copolyester transforms market potential - not molding processes.

Eastman Tritan™ copolyester is a natural fit for many of your existing processes. It is a drop in replacement for many  injection molds with minor or no adjustments and often with no capital investment. In fact, Tritan™ may provide processing advantages that can actually increase capacity and lower manufacturing costs. Advantages over competitive materials used in housewares such as PC may include:

• Faster injection molding rates
• Lower density (1.18 vs. 1.20 g/cc),* yielding more parts per pound or kilogram of polymer
• Lower levels of residual stress
  • Separate annealing step often not required
  • Improves chemical and hydrolytic stability
• Fewer complaints and lower replacement costs due to superior dishwasher durability.
• Tritan™ does not use bisphenol-A (BPA) in the manufacturing process
  

*Specific gravity measured according to ASTM D792.
