Product Description
Eastman Cadence GS1 is Eastman's original copolyester for film calendering. Calendered films made of Eastman Cadence copolyesters are non-crystallizing, are halogen-free, offer wide calendering and thermoforming windows and have good low-temperature toughness. They are cooperative in secondary operations such as solvent-bonding, lamination, decoration, cold-forming, punching/cutting and embossment.

Eastman Cadence resins require no pre-drying or additional stabilizers.

This product has been GREENGUARD INDOOR AIR QUALITY CERTIFIED®.
The GREENGUARD INDOOR AIR QUALITY CERTIFIED® Mark is a registered certification mark used under license through the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI). GEI is an industry-independent, non-profit organization that oversees the GREENGUARD Certification Program. The GREENGUARD Certification Program is an industry independent, third-party testing program for low-emitting products and materials for indoor environments.

This product has been CRADLE TO CRADLE CERTIFIED Silver.
The CRADLE TO CRADLE CERTIFIED Mark is a registered certification mark used under license through McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC). MBDC is a global sustainability consulting and product certification firm. The CRADLE TO CRADLE® framework moves beyond the traditional goal of reducing the negative impacts of commerce ('eco-efficiency'), to a new paradigm of increasing its positive impacts ('eco-effectiveness'). At its core, Cradle to Cradle design perceives the safe and productive processes of nature's 'biological metabolism' as a model for developing a 'technical metabolism' flow of industrial materials. Product components can be designed for continuous recovery and reutilization as biological and technical nutrients within these metabolisms.
