Processing and Product Website

Mass production in the Western world is on the brink of a silent revolution and e-Manufacturing is an important part of that change.


In order to deliver a total solution aproach to the medical industry, Eastman Chemical Company has launched Medical Technical Center. The website is organized to allow medical OEMs, processors and designers to access comprehensive product and processing information critical to application success. By providing fitness-foruse polymer information, including clarity, toughness, chemical resistance and color stability, along with the ability to undergo certain processes or secondary operations, users can select the appropriate Eastman polymer.

Also included are material maps comparing Eastman polymers to other clear polymers typically used in the medical market. The information is organized to allow users to narrow their search of Eastman polymers based on material performance and processing parameters. Processing guidelines provide tips on how to produce high-quality parts from Eastman polymers.
