Tritan is a type of copolyester plastic that is used in a variety of products, including food and beverage containers, baby bottles, and promotional products. It is a BPA-free plastic, meaning it is not manufactured with bisphenol A (BPA) or other bisphenol compounds, such as bisphenol S (BPS) . Tritan is made from a combination of diacids and diols that are added to the base plastic, which lend their own properties to make the new material strong, clear, and resistant to heat and chemical degradation. Some of the key attributes of Tritan include:

• Clarity: Tritan has approximately 90% light transmittance and good gloss, making it clear and vibrant in colored or tinted applications.

• Toughness and impact resistance: Tritan is impact- and shatter-resistant and has the ability to withstand extreme conditions.

• Dishwasher durability: Tritan is dishwasher-safe and will stay clear and tough even over hundreds of cycles with resistance to crazing or cracking.

• BPA-free: Tritan is manufactured without BPA, so it offers a BPA-free option that provides as-molded toughness and chemical resistance without annealing.

Tritan is a popular material for food and beverage containers due to its strength, clarity, and other attributes. It is also used in baby bottles and other products that require a clear, durable, and safe plastic.
