| Product Description: Tritan™ EX401, specifically developed for the Infant Care market, is an amorphous copolyester with excellent appearance and clarity. Tritan™ EX401 contains a mold release derived from vegetable based sources. Its most outstanding features are clarity, excellent toughness, hydrolytic stability, and heat and chemical resistance. Tritan™ EX401 meets infant care sterilization requirements via boiling water or microwave steam sterilization. This new-generation copolyester can also be molded into various applications without incorporating high levels of residual stress. Combined with Tritan™ copolyester's outstanding chemical resistance and hydrolytic stability, these features give molded products enhanced durability in the dishwasher environment, which can expose products to high heat, humidity, and aggressive cleaning agents. Tritan™ EX401 can be converted into parts using injection molding, injection stretch blow molding (ISBM), and extrusion blow molding techniques.
