Is Tritan Safe To Use

Tritan is a BPA-free plastic, it is not manufactured with bisphenol A (BPA) or other bisphenol compounds, such as bisphenol S (BPS). Besides that, it is impact-resistant whereby the products can be used without fear of shattering. Tritan is tough whereby it are able to extend the useful life of water bottles and food containers, potentially reducing waste.

Tritan has exceptional dishwasher durability whereby it encourages proper sanitation for greater plastic container safety. Other than that, Tritan is much lighter than glass whereby it is easier to handle without the fear of breaking.

Tritan has no estrogenic or androgenic activity. Estrogen and testosterone are hormones that are essential to many important biological processes in animals and humans, including sexual differentiation and development. Studies have suggested that certain synthetic and naturally occurring chemicals can interfere with these biological processes and lead to adverse effects.     

Endocrine disruptors are defined as chemicals that can interfere with the human endocrine system and ultimately lead to adverse health effects. Among endocrine disruptors, chemicals that mimic estrogen and testosterone in living animals are said to exhibit estrogenic activity, also known as EA, and androgenic activity, frequently known as AA. Independent third-party labs using well-recognized scientific methods have demonstrated that Tritan plastic is free of estrogenic activity and androgenic activity.

By combining Tritan copolyester's outstanding chemical resistance and hydrolytic stability, these features give molded products enhanced durability in the dishwasher environment, which can expose products to high heat, humidity, and aggressive cleaning detergents.
