Eastman Tritan™ FX200 Copolyester
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyester, TP; Polyester Film
Material Notes:	Eastman Tritan FX200 is an amorphous copolyester that combines clarity and toughness with heat and chemical resistance. Films manufactured from this new-generation copolyester can be thermoformed without pre-drying and with a wide processing window that allows for product designs that reflect intricate detail. Application/Uses Consumer and durable goods Graphic arts Leisure and safety Specialty films Key Attributes Does not contain Bisphenol-A (BPA) Does not contain plasticizers Excellent clarity Very good heat resistance No pre-drying of film prior to thermoforming Good chemical resistance Good toughness Wide thermoforming window Information was provided by Eastman.
