This copolyester combines toughness, clarity, high temperature resistance and flexibility without the addition of plasticizers. Eastman AP005 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.Information provided by Eastman.
