General Information
Product Description

Eastar Copolyester EB062 is a resin specifically developed for extrusion blown bottles where aesthetics such as high clarity and gloss, coupled with design flexibility, drive demand. Compared to commonly used materials, Eastar copolyester EB062 runs on most standard processing equipment. Extremely high melt strength makes the resin an excellent choice when manufacturing large bottles.

Key Attributes:
- Exceptional clarity
- Good impact strength
- Outstanding chemical resistance
- High gloss
- Toughness
- Excellent colorability
- Easy to extrude, cut, print, and seal
- Effective barrier properties
- Good stiffness
