Eastman expands Tritan into rigid medical packaging

摘要

One year after launching the line at the same event, Eastman Chemical Co.'s medical polymers unit has expanded its Tritan copolyester with the introduction of the MP100 grade for rigid packaging. Intended to supplement Eastar copolyester 6763, which has been offered to the medical market for the past 20 years, Eastman launched Tritan MP100 at MD&M West (Feb. 9-11; Anaheim, CA), saying it provides chemical resistance, clarity, and toughness through higher heat resistance and strong post-sterilization clarity compared with other polymers.
