Asys Uses Eastman Tritan™ Copolyester to Make Transparent Stands of iPads

Eastman, a specialty chemical company, is announcing another new innovation using Eastman Tritan™ copolyester: the Anypad line of stands for iPads from the brand, which uses copolyester to make the transparent stands. With an innovative design, these stands make the iPad more functional and offer practicality to its users. There are four models with very specific features: AnyPad Office, AnyPad Hand, AnyPad Cook and AnyPad Wall.

The Office can be used to turn the tablet into an elegant desktop computer and provides spring-regulated articulation, height adjustment, and swivel and tilt adjustment, providing greater comfort and ergonomics. The Hand is recommended for those looking for added safety when holding the iPad to use it, in addition to offering an option for use as a tabletop stand in four different positions. The Cook, which can be hung on cabinets and shelves using the mount, is geared toward people who spend a lot of time in the kitchen and want to see their recipes and other content on the iPad. No holes need to be drilled into cabinets, and the doors can even remain closed. Finally, the Wall, which comes in two sizes, has a hinged arm that attaches to the wall. All of the stands are made of chromed steel and Eastman Tritan™ copolyester, and they fit all generations of iPads.

Jorge Curi, Commercial Manager at Asys, said that the use of the copolyester was essential for the products to have the quality and design they have achieved today. "We were looking for a clear, malleable material with good resistance Eastman Tritan™ met all of our requirements and enabled us to continue the project." he said.

Tritan™ is an Eastman brand of copolyester that is unique because of its clarity, toughness and heat and chemical-resistance as well as because it contains no bisphenol A. It can be used in many ways and is found in household goods, cosmetics, technical parts, medical devices and packaging, infant care products, personal care items, small appliances and other goods. "Tritan is a very versatile material and can be used in many products. It really meets the most varied demands that we receive from our customers," said Luis Pagan, Eastman's Commercial Director for Special Plastics in Latin America.

Asys has been performing studies for some time to launch the Anypad line, receiving its first patent in 2010. The result of this effort is an innovative product with a practical design. Today, the brand is working on launching a model that also fits the iPad mini. The AnyPad line is on sale now at major stores.
