Made with Eastman Tritan™ BPA-free copolyesters  

 

Product Description

PolyOne’s Edgetek™ engineering thermoplastic compounds portfolio, which covers a broad range of standard and custom formulated high-performance materials, now includes compounds based on Eastman Tritan™ copolyester thanks to an exclusive agreement between PolyOne and Eastman to compound this material. Like all Edgetek compounds based on select base resins, the Tritan™ based products feature reinforcing additives that modify and expand the performance of the copolyester.
