Copolyester Material Properties and Applications
Copolyester, a strong, widely used thermoplastic resin, is a hygroscopic, clear, amorphous material that forms when modifications are made to polyesters. Copolyesters retain mechanical properties such as strength and clarity even when exposed to chemicals that typically affect other materials, such as polycarbonates. This feature, plus versatility and flexibility, allows manufacturers to use polyesters effectively in the design of both high-volume, low-cost parts as well as critical, more expensive component parts. Durable and shatterproof, the material is reliable for applications that require stability after years of regular use. Common material solutions include Eastman Tritan™ copolyester resins.
