About consumer electronics

Eastman specialty materials help formulators and manufacturers meet consumer demands for electronics that are smaller, better performing and more user friendly.

As advances come quickly, brand owners are challenged to select materials that keep pace with demands for stylish, reliable and durable electronics. Our materials can help brands do so without compromising performance.

Pioneering materials

Eastman continues to invest in people, data, chemistry and growth to remain a trusted partner. Our technology platforms and application expertise allow us to bring new, innovative products to the market.

By offering sound and relevant guidance, research and information, we enable you to make informed decisions and adopt innovations that will move the industry forward in a sustainable way.

Audio performance

Eastman Tritan™ copolyester and Tritan™ Renew offer durability and sustainability that preserve sound quality by improving audio performance. They reduce resonance, improve active noise cancellation and reduce computing power. Our plastics can also help prevent feedback, reduce interference and cut down on echo.

Chemical resistance

Our plastics hold up to chemical contact. That helps devices resist body oils, sunscreens and cosmetics.

Products powered by our materials hold up to daily cleaning with disinfectants. They’ll also maintain their appearance and performance when exposed to other cleaners and solvents.

Using Eastman specialty plastics can help your devices look and perform better for longer.

Sustainability

Our portfolio offers an array of safe materials made without styrenics and other materials of concern.

Eastman Tritan Renew provides the sustainability you need without sacrificing the quality you and your customers have come to expect from Tritan. Tritan Renew is the same tough, safe, BPA-free material you know and trust — but revitalized thanks to Eastman’s innovative recycling technologies.

Toughness and impact strength

Our specialty plastics consistently outperform traditional products in toughness tests, including impact and drop tests. They also have greater flex fatigue resistance and dimensional stability to ensure longevity.

Our materials provide strength for thin-walled electronic wearables. They also add dimensional stability across wide temperature and humidity ranges. So they can hold up to whatever users put them through.

BPA free

Our plastics are made without bisphenols, halogens or other materials of concern. This brings them into compliance with environmental legislation such as California Proposition 65, signifying they’re safer for people and the environment. That lets brands signal to consumers that their products are a more sustainable option.

Secondary operations

We are committed to helping customers get the best from secondary operations, including quality polymers for wearable electronics that will deliver:

  • Toughness to withstand mount screws and fabrication 
  • Chemical resistance to ensure compatibility with solvents and bonding agents 
  • Toughness and temperature resistance for better results from sonic welding operations 

Optical properties

Eastman offers polymer solutions and technical support for wearable electronics, devices and displays that need high light transmittance and low haze.

Eastman Tritan copolyester and Tritan Renew are proven in many applications for its optical properties and clarity, as well as color retention.

Our polymer technology is ideal for brightness management, protection layers, touch sensors and polarizer compensation.
