| Pigmented white using TiO2. Eastman Cadence™ copolyester, for calendered films, is a specialty plastic developed to meet the demand for an environmentally responsible material for the calendering industry. Available in different grades, it features ease of processing, high-melt strength, aesthetics, clarity and gloss. Benefits Can be used on existing calendering lines with no or minimal modification.- No drying is needed prior to the calendering process.
- Good thermal stability during normal calendering process conditions.
- No corrosive degradation products are normally formed.
- Easy to emboss for added texture and dimensions with standard engraved rolls.
- Easy to decorate using offset lithography, flexographic, and screen-printing processes.
- Thermoforms easily and is compatible with commercial adhesives used in lamination processes
- Environmentally responsible material.
Eastman Cadence GS5 is an amorphous copolyester with improved processability for film calendering. Calendered films made of Eastman Cadence copolyesters are non-crystallizing, are halogen-free, offer wide calendering and thermoforming windows and have good low-temperature toughness. They are cooperative in secondary operations such as solvent-bonding, lamination, decoration, cold-forming, punching/cutting and embossment. Eastman Cadence resins require no pre-drying or additional stabilizers. Application/Uses - Appliance films
