Tritan™ FX400

Generic Family: CopolyesterSupplied by: Eastman Chemical Company
Eastman Tritan™ FX400 is a copolyester resin for extruded film applications where enhanced heat resistance and toughness are required. It works great in hot fill packaging for food, transaction and identification cards, and protective laminates. This product is intended for single and repeated use applications.

Packaging brands and film converters prefer Tritan FX400 for its ability to provide a clear, aesthetically pleasing package that stands up to the strenuous requirements for hot filling, while also providing safety that consumers expect. Its great for brands looking to replace materials of concern or differentiate their packaging by transitioning from opaque to clear.
