Product Description
Eastman Tritan LX150HF is a high flow grade of an amorphous copolyester with excellent appearance and clarity. Eastman Tritan LX150HF has viscosity reductions of 40-50% relative to standard grades of Eastman Tritan. Its most outstanding features are excellent toughness, hydrolytic stability, and heat and chemical resistance. Tritan LX150HF was developed for the cosmetic, fragrance, and personal care markets. Tritan LX150HF can easily be converted into articles for application in consumer and personal care markets by injection molding, extrusion blow molding, and injection blow molding.
