Product Description
Ecdel elastomers are medical grade copolyester ethers (COPE). They offer the clarity, toughness, and chemical resistance needed in a variety of flexible packaging including medical applications. Ecdel Elastomer 9966 may be injection molded or extruded. Ecdel elastomers may be extrusion blow molded directly into bags or extruded into film for later fabrication into bags.

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.
