Tritan proves to be a clear, durable, BPA-free material for JCP's bottle innovations.

Kingsport, Tenn., USA - July 12, 2018 - Bangkok-based JCP Plastic Ltd, an innovative manufacturer of high quality and affordable plastics products, continues to improve its line of Super Lock bottles for children, athletes and families who desire a healthy lifestyle.

Super Lock bottles are available in a variety of styles, colors and cap/closure designs, with capacities as large as 1600 mL. JCP is also developing bottles with tea filter and fruit crusher/infuser capabilities.

As JCP adds more premium bottles to its Super Lock line, Tritan™ from Eastman is commonly the material of choice. Tritan combines glasslike clarity, temperature resistance and toughness into a designer-friendly material that is made without BPA.

'Tritan is the best material for a new generation of consumers who are concerned with healthy living,' says Mr. Prakit Charoenchitmun, president of JCP Plastic Ltd.

In addition to resisting scratching and breakage, Tritan does not retain odors or stains compared with materials JCP previously used. The bottles made with Tritan are dishwasher safe with popular detergents, so they are easy to keep clean and hygienic. JCP even adds Microban® antimicrobial protection to the lids (not made with Tritan) of some Super Lock bottles to inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Best of all, the premium Super Lock bottles made with Tritan keep getting more stylish-and stay great looking longer.

JCP bottles made with Tritan are sold in Thailand at department stores and will soon be exported throughout the region and to Europe and the USA. Products also are available online at micronware.co.th and other popular shopping sites.
