EASTMAN™ CELLULOSE ACETATE BUTYRATE (CAB-381-2) is a cellulose ester with medium butyryl content and high viscosity. Other than a higher viscosity and molecular weight, this cellulose ester shares the same general characteristics as CAB-381-0.1 and CAB-381-0.5. CAB-381-2 offers a combination of solubility and compatibility, moisture resistance, excellent surface hardness, and good film strength. When CAB-381-2 is dissolved in appropriate solvents, a clear, colorless solution is produced. It is supplied as a dry, free-flowing powder. Eastman CAB-381-2 is based on cellulose, one of the most abundant natural renewable resources. The calculated approximate bio-content value of 40% for Eastman CAB-381-2 was determined by using six bio-based carbon atoms per anhyroglucose unit divided by the total number of carbons per anhyroglucose unit. Although the value reported is not specifically measured for bio-carbon, it can be estimated based on typical partition data.

EASTMAN™ CELLULOSE ACETATE BUTYRATE (CAB-381-0.5) is a cellulose ester with medium butyryl content and low viscosity. It was designed for use where low-application viscosities at relatively high solids levels is needed. It is soluble in a wide range of solvents and compatible with many other resins. When CAB-381-0.5 is dissolved in appropriate solvents a clear, colorless solution is produced. It will also tolerate the use of solvent blends currently exempt from certain air pollution regulations. It is supplied as a dry, free-flowing powder.

EASTMAN™ EEP (Ethyl 3-Ethoxypropionate) is a slow evaporating ether-ester solvent with excellent activity for a wide range of coating polymers.

EASTMAN™ MPK, a premium-grade methyl n-propyl ketone that offers exceptional solvency power and versatility for a wide range of industrial applications. EASTMAN™ MPK is a clear, colorless liquid that boasts high boiling and flash points, making it ideal for use as a solvent in coatings, inks, adhesives, and many other applications. It is also an excellent replacement for other solvents such as toluene and xylene due to its low odor, low toxicity, and low VOC emissions. With its exceptional solvency power, EASTMAN™ MPK can dissolve a wide range of substances, including resins, waxes, and oils, allowing for improved performance and efficiency in various manufacturing processes. Its high evaporation rate also ensures quick and efficient drying, reducing production times and improving overall productivity.
