Eastman Neostar™ Elastomer FN005 is a tough, clear, durable, general purpose grade copolyester ether. It was designed for use in the profile and automotive markets, but is also used in packaging and tubing applications where toughness and flex-crack resistance are required. Eastman Neostar™ Elastomer FN005 can be used in injection molding and cast film or tubing extrusion applications or in any application that demands strength, durability, and puncture resistance in harsh environments. This copolyester combines toughness, clarity, and flexibility without the addition of plasticizers. Eastman Neostar™ Elastomer FN005 is considered environmentally preferred because of its non-halogenated material composition. The target inherent viscosity of this product is 1.05.
