Eastman now offers two outstanding Eastman™ Medical Polymers to help shape what’s next in rigid medical packaging. 

Eastar™ copolyester 6763 has been the standard for clear rigid medical packaging for more than 20 years. It consistently delivers value by providing these advantages:

• Superior clarity – before and after sterilization
• Excellent puncture resistance and impact toughness
• Choice of sterilization method without post-radiation color shift
• Confidence-building functional and aesthetic package integrity

Eastman Tritan™ copolyester MP100 provides the advantages of Eastar™ copolyester 6763 with even better post-sterilization clarity and color. Plus, Tritan delivers higher heat resistance and greater inherent toughness needed for some rigid medical packaging applications.

• Greater toughness
  • Provides durable protection of sterilized contents
  • Allows redesign for lightweighting and downguaging; reduced secondary packaging
• Higher heat resistance
  • Allows Higher sterilization chamber temperatures may allow faster ethylene oxide (EtO) cycle time and reduced risk of warping and sticking
  • More rapid accelerated aging protocols for faster and more reliable shelf-life qualification; fewer go-to-market delays
• Slower aging process for greater confidence
