Tritan collaboration means stock shapes available to device designers

To get tangible, sizable pieces of Eastman Tritan copolyester to medical device designers, Eastman Chemical Company has collaborated with Ensinger to convert resins into semi-finished stock shapes

These shapes showcase clarity, toughness and design flexibility of the material and allow designers to match those attributes to end-products, helping them understand how these medical devices will function after development.

The extruded shapes made from Tritan MX710 resin will be marketed using Ensinger’s Tecadur brand.

By using stock shapes designers can better understand at the onset of development how a material can be moulded and used for a medical device, making the process more seamless and efficient.

Designers can use stock shapes for prototypes and also for full-scale manufacturing.
