How can you ascertain whether or not the new non-BPA plastic copolyester Tritan is safe to use when Nalgene Kor and Camelback all refuse to divulge ingredients?
Whatwhywhere
The quick answer is that you cannot know if Tritan is safe to use.
I did a little internet searching, and found a list of three of the components used in the manufacture of Tritan. They are called monomers.
Dimethyl terephthalate
2,2,4,4 tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol (TMCD)
1,4 cyclohexanedimethanol
Eastman, the company that manufactures Tritan, claims that no heavy-metal catalysts, such as antimony, are used to make Tritan. They do admit that a "low toxicity catalyst metal" is used. They further claim that there is no "trace level migration of metal" from Tritan.
Finally, Eastman's literature about Tritan specifies that it is safe for food contact at temperatures up to and including 100 degrees Celsius. This means that you should not microwave Tritan, or otherwise heat it up.
