Eastalite™ Copolyester MP007F

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

• Medical kits

• Medical mounting cards

• Opaque medical and pharmaceutical packaging

• Thermoformed packaging

• Work-in-process trays

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
