Eastman Chemical celebrates industry collaboration at Compamed

Global speciality chemical company Eastman is exhibiting at this year’s Compamed to discuss its collaborative work in the medical industry.

Visitors to the company’s booth can find out about its collaboration with Elcam Medical as well the company’s Tritan and Eastar 6763 copolyesters.

Eastman’s collaboration with Elcam Medical resulted in the creation of new chemical and lipid-resistant SafeT stopcocks. The process saw the product being conceived, the optimum material selected, followed by design, trialling, and manufacturing in the shortest possible time.

Cedric Perben, of Eastman EMEA medical applications, said: “Eastman is a world-leading materials supplier, but so much more as well. When given the opportunity to work with our customers – the earlier in the design process the better – we can considerably speed up the journey to market. With our knowledge of material behaviour and machinery, together with an understanding of our customers’ needs, Eastman can be instrumental in keeping abreast of this rapidly changing industry. We look forward to furthering our relationships at Compamed.”

Eastman is exhibiting in Hall 8a, booth #P04 whilst Elcam Medical is at #E28 in hall 8a.
