Product Description
Eastman Tritan(TM) MP200 is an amorphous copolyester that combines excellent clarity and toughness with outstanding heat and chemical resistance. Film and sheet manufactured from this new-generation copolyester can be thermoformed with a wide processing window that allows for product designs that reflect intricate detail. Eastman Tritan MP200 copolyester is suitable for use with most forms of sterilization including radiation and ethylene oxide. It is NOT suitable for autoclave/steam sterilization. Eastman Tritan MP200 copolyester has been formulated for use in medical film, sheet, and packaging applications.
