TRITAN™ MP100

1 of 76 products in this brand
Eastman Eastman Tritan™ MP100 is an amorphous copolyester that combines excellent clarity and toughness with outstanding heat and chemical resistance. Film and sheet manufactured from this new-generation copolyester can be thermoformed with a wide processing window that allows for product designs that reflect intricate detail. Eastman Tritan™ MP100 copolyester is suitable for use with most forms of sterilization including radiation and ethylene oxide. It is NOT suitable for autoclave/steam sterilization. Eastman Tritan™ MP100 copolyester has been formulated for use in medical film, sheet, and packaging applications.
