Eastman launches Tritan~(TM) copolyester

摘要

Eastman Chemical Company recently launched into the whitegoods market with Tritan, providing brand owners with a long-lasting, chemical-resistant material option that provides the superior clarity and toughness consumers require. Tritan, a new-generation material that provides these attributes and more, is now being used, for the first time, on washer and dryer components. "As a company, we have high standards for product design and functionality, and our customers expect the same of our appliances," said Gundula Wendrich, Head of Process Development Materials Technology at Miele. "In using Eastman Tritan~(TM) copolyester for our newest whitegoods line, we not only meet both the customers' aesthetic needs as well as functional needs for appliance components that can withstand harsh detergents, but also the safety needs imposed by EU harmonized standards for household and similar electrical appliance safety*." The materials brand owners choose for their whitegoods can make all the difference.
