Product Description
Eastman Cristal™ Renew EB062-50 copolyester is a resin specifically developed for extrusion blown bottles where aesthetics such as high clarity and gloss, coupled with design flexibility, drive demand particularly in packaging for cosmetics and personal care. Compared to commonly used materials, Cristal™ Renew EB062-50 runs on most standard processing equipment. Extremely high melt strength makes the resin an excellent choice when manufacturing bottles. This product offers improved toughness, melt strength, chemical resistance, excellent color, and clarity in thick-walled applications.
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.
Cristal™ Renew EB062-50 is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 51 for Food Equipment Materials.
Cristal™ Renew EB062-50 is cleared for various food contact applications (including contact with most alcoholic beverages) by FCN No. 1234 as described in the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Inventory of Effective Food Contact Substance Notifications
and may be used in full compliance with the United States Federal Food and Drug, and Cosmetic Act, provided that it is used within the limitations set forth for FCN 1234.
