Eastman AP006 Copolyester (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyester, TP
Material Notes:	Applications: Automotive components Breathable films Electrical/electronic components Film Modification Flexible hinges Hose mandrel Industrial components Industrial hoses/belts Office furniture Packaging Polymer modification Profiles Rubber and plastic modification Sporting goods Thermoplastic elastomer compounds Tubing Key Attributes: Environmentally preferred, non-halogenated material Excellent chemical and oil resistance Excellent compatibility with a wide range of polymers Excellent processability Exceptional heat resistance and high temperature dimensional stability High energy absorption High flexibility without plasticizers Melt bondable to a variety of substrates, including PVC Outstanding toughness and puncture resistance Solvent bondable Product Description: Eastman AP006 is a tough, clear, durable copolyester ether that combines the strength of plastics, the flexibility of elastomers, and the processability of thermoplastics. Eastman AP006 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 AP006 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.
