Product Description: Eastman AP007 is a tough, clear, durable copolyester ether that combines the strength of plastics, the flexibility of elastomers, and the processability of thermoplastics. Eastman AP007 can be used in injection molding and film or tubing extrusion applications or in any application that demands strength, durability, chemical resistance, and puncture resistance in harsh environments. This copolyester combines toughness, clarity, high temperature resistance and flexibility without the addition of plasticizers. Eastman AP007 is considered environmentally preferred because of its non-halogenated material composition. Its broad compatibility with other polymers such as styrenic block copolymers makes it an excellent choice for both alloys and as additives/modifiers to improve performance properties.
