Product Description
Cristal™ Renew copolyester EV600-30 is a high flow product designed and engineered specifically for cosmetics packaging applications. With its unsurpassed color and clarity and an unmatched ability to mold thick parts with improved gate aesthetics, Cristal Renew EV600-30 is clearly a well-suited copolyester for premium cosmetics packaging. Other outstanding features of Cristal Renew EV600-30 are excellent chemical resistance, high gloss, and improvements in processing such as faster cycle times, and lower scrap rates. Cristal Renew EV600-30 is also ideally suited for two-shot molding techniques due to its lower processing temperatures, very slow crystallization rate, and flow characteristics.
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.
