Eastman Explores Processing of Tritan Copoiyester For Small, Multicavity Medical Parts

摘要

Inherent purity, clarity, toughness, and resistance to harsh disinfectant chemicals, aggressive drug formulations, and sterilization procedures are qualities that recommend Tritan copoiyester for medical applications. Eastman Chemical Co., Kingsport, Tenn. (eastman.com), has commercialized this unique resin in a number of medical products since 2009. So far, those have been medium-to-large components of devices and electronic instruments. Now, Eastman is seeking to introduce Tritan into small, precision, multi-cavity injection molded devices and components as a bisphenol-free alternative to PC and acrylic.
