BPA free alternative to PC

[ctowerh]

I am interested in finding a BPA free alternative for a juvenille beverage container. The product will be injection molded, come in varied translucent colors and need to have a decent impact resistance. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance

SAN?

Maybe PP Co-polymer. Some of the new(ish) metallocence catalysed products are quite stiff and good clarity.

I would avoid SAN due to poor impact resistance. Impact modified, transparent SAN (like MABS) would work as would the other suggestions. If you don't need perfect transparency then the PP route will be nice from a materials cost standpoint.
