Product Description
Eastman Cristal™ Renew copolyester AN001-50 Natural has excellent appearance and is nearly water-clear. Its most outstanding features are its chemical resistance and processing capabilities. Exposure to aromatic oils often causes crazing or actual fracture of many polymer resins, but Eastman Cristal™ Renew copolyester AN001-50 Natural maintains its physical properties when exposed to these oils, and its appearance is virtually unchanged. It is one of our premier materials for the cosmetics and personal care packaging market.
Eastman Renew polymers have been certified by International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC), a global, independent agency for tracking sustainable content in a variety of industries. Renew polymers are produced with ISCC certified circular content by mass balance allocation.
Renew polymers enable a brand to reduce consumption of fossil feedstock-based plastics, achieve sustainability targets without compromise, and be a fast mover in a growing market for sustainable consumer products.
