Eastar™ DN004, Natural

About
Copolyester DN004 has been tested for FDA/ISO 10993 and USP Class VI Biological Evaluation testing after Gamma and EtO sterilization. Eastar™ copolyesters are brilliantly clear polymers that have excellent impact strength, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and low shrinkage rates. Eastar™ DN004 copolyesters are the toughest materials for the cosmetics and personal care packaging applications. It’s very shatter resistant and offers excellent chemical resistance. DN004 contains a mold release. This product has been GREENGUARD INDOOR AIR QUALITY CERTIFIED The GREENGUARD INDOOR AIR QUALITY CERTIFIED Mark is a registered certification mark used under license through the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI). GEI is an industry-independent, non-profit organization that oversees the GREENGUARD Certification Program. The GREENGUARD Certification Program is an industry independent, third-party testing program for low-emitting products and materials for indoor environments.
