OREM,
UTAH, USA – April 20, 2009 – Blendtec, a global provider of
high-performance blenders and dispensing units, announced the release
of a new blending jar which uses a copolyester material that has
greater chemical resistance, improved sound dampening qualities, and
contains no BPA (Bisphenol A).
"We place a high value on innovation and continuous improvement with
all Blendtec products, so our engineering department has been testing a
number of new materials over an extended period of time to determine
which was able to meet our production and usage specifications," said
George Wright, VP of Marketing and Sales for Blendtec. "Many consumers
are looking for alternatives to polycarbonate and we are glad we can
now offer that in this new jar along with the other benefits of the
copolyester material," says Wright.
The first use of the new material will be in 2 quart blender jars
included in all Blendtec blenders for home use and in standard packages
for specific commercial blenders. Other commercial use is also under
development and as soon as production and usage specifications are
verified, additional products will be made available which use
copolyester in place of polycarbonate.
Blendtec’s blenders use a unique patented jar and blade design which
produce superior blending results. Combining the advanced technology of
the Blendtec motor and controls with the advantages of the new
copolyester jar material will only enhance the value of the Blendtec
product line and increase customer popularity.
