Eastman Tritan Material
Is anyone running the new Eastman Tritan Copolyester in an injection molding application?
UV
To my best knowledge PS needs UV protection to withstand sunlight as it absorbs quite a lot of UV light.
I know that BASF has UV resistant PS in several grades. I have been using PS 144 and PS 158 with UV resistance additives.
