Tenite products are also easily molded, extruded, or fabricated and available in natural, clear, amber, and black. The mechanical properties of Tenite cellulosic plastics differ with plasticizer levels. Lower plasticizer content yields a harder surface, higher heat resistance, greater rigidity, higher tensile strength, and better dimensional stability. Higher plasticizer content will increase impact strength. Tenite polyethylene is a member of Eastman's family of thermoplastics and is availbable in low, linear low and high densities.
Tenite formulations are available for film extrusion as well as molding applications.
Tenite polyethylenes are noted for their good processability, good strength, and chemical resistance. Copyright 2000 Eastman Chemical Company. All rights reserved. Please see our Legal Information.
