Eastalite™ Foamed Copolyester MP007F with nonporous Eastar™ Copolyester 6763 skins is an opaque, amorphous material with a closed foam structure useful for medical packaging. It is normally white/pearlescent in appearance but may also be colored using Eastman resins and concentrates.
Application/Uses
- Opaque medical and pharmaceutical packaging
Key Attributes
- Can be recycled with other copolyesters for use in nonmedical post-consumer markets
- Color and functional stability following ethylene oxide (EtO), gamma or e-beam irradiation, or gas plasma sterilization
- Compliant with applicable sections of ISO 11607 including microbial barrier
- Complies with select ISO 10993 requirements for biocompatibility of medical devices
- Decreased thermoforming cycle time and energy use
- Greater design flexibility including durability, easy printing, deep undercuts, long-life hinges, enhanced product protection
- Greater tear and flex strength than more brittle and crack susceptible HIPS
- Light blocking and opacity
- Light weight Styrene-free alternative
- Made without other materials of concern, including Latex, Butadiene, BPA and bisphenol S (BPS), ortho-phthalates, PVC, halogens
- Meets environmentally preferable purchasing guidelines
- Minimal generation of particulates and angel hair when trimmed or cut Minimal stress whitening
- Provides good heat seal performance to common lidding materials used with copolyesters
- Surface modifications are not necessary for COF and blocking force control
- Sustainable LCA -The global warming potential per tray is 0.33 kg CO2-eq/tray made using MP007F
- Temperature insulating effect
