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. 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 Applications - Rigid medical packaging
