- Hydrolytic stability – Tritan 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 stress – Tritan typically produces parts with lower levels of residual stress than polycarbonate (PC), improving the durability of the molded article.
Another aspect of durability — in and out of the dishwasher — is the toughness of Eastman Tritan™ copolyester.
- Housewares made with Tritan have greater impact resistance than those made with SAN or SMMA, so there is less breakage and scratching.
- Parts made with Tritan also offer greater shatter resistance than glass, with lower density that makes wet and slick products from the dishwasher or sink easier to handle.
