Eastman Chemical Company announced that Baby Dipper, LLC, a manufacturer of innovative, easy-to-use baby products, has introduced the Baby Dipper® bowl made with Eastman Tritan™ copolyester. Tritan is a new-generation copolyester that provides a balance of properties to help the infant care market respond to consumer demand for products that offer superior clarity, dishwasher durability and toughness, and are manufactured without bisphenol-A (BPA).

The Baby Dipper bowl is a 4-ounce triangular bowl with a non-slip base to prevent movement and spills. The bowl’s contoured interior helps guide food to a lower corner for collection, enabling use with one hand. The bowl’s unique design helps parents easily feed infants, as well as teach toddlers to feed themselves.

Baby Dipper chose Eastman Tritan™ copolyester because it provided a clear, tough and BPA-free material choice. Baby Dipper tested NAS for the manufacture of the bowl when initially looking for a plastic alternative to polycarbonate (PC). However, Tritan offered higher impact and heat resistance, as well as dishwasher durability. Tritan also offers odour, taste and stain resistance, which are important for infant care feeding products that demand cleanliness and safety.

‘The design flexibility and ease of processing of Eastman Tritan™ copolyester also has allowed us to create the thick-to-thin wall design, and meet our cost and production goals’, said Barbara Schantz, President and CEO of Baby Dipper, LLC.

Eastman Tritan™ copolyester is used for the development of a variety of infant care products, including reusable bottles, pacifiers, breast pumps, bottle sterilizer lids, plastic cutlery and dishes, and more.
