Product Description
Eastar™ AN011 copolyester is a high flow product. Eastar™ AN011 flow lengths are increased 20-40% relative to Eastar™ AN001 as shown by spiral flow testing. It is one of our premier material for the cosmetics and personal care packaging market. Other outstanding features of Eastar™ are easily maintained such as excellent appearance and clarity, good physical properties, chemical resistance, and easy processing. This high flow product is especially suited for those applications utilizing thin-walled intricate tools. Under existing United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, Eastar™ AN011 may be used in food contact articles which comply with the specifications and conditions of use in 21 CFR 177.1240.
