Product Description
Eastman Cristal™ One E Lux is a copolyester designed for to be fully compatible with the PET recycling stream for extrusion-blown molded bottles for the skincare, personal care and color cosmetics markets. This resin is suitable for blow-molding both thin and thick-walled applications, while maintaining clarity, chemical compatibility, toughness and design freedom.

Cristal™ One E Lux meets the definition of resin identification code #1 (RIC1) as defined by the California Assembly Bill (#906) and by ASTM D7611, Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) as well as European PET Bottle Platform (EPBP). Other end-product attributes, including but not limited to size, color, auxiliary components, and availability of collection, may also impact recyclability.
