Tritan™ FX100

About
Eastman Tritan™ FX100 is an amorphous copolyester that combines excellent clarity and toughness with outstanding 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. Eastman Tritan™ FX100 copolyester may be used in repeated use food contact articles under United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations.&&
