Eastar AN014, Natural Eastman Copolyester

Product Description

Eastar AN014 copolyester is a high flow product that contains a mold release. Eastar AN014 flow lengths are increased 20-40% relative to Eastar AN004 as shown by spiral flow testing. Other outstanding features of Eastar are easily maintained such as excellent appearance and clarity, good physical properties, chemical resistance, and easy processing. This high flow product is especially suited for those applications utilizing thin-walled intricate tools. Under existing United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, Eastar AN014 may be used in food contact articles which comply with the specifications and conditions of use in 21 CFR 177.1240.
