Premium Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB) for Coatings, Lacquers & Plastics

CAB-381-2 is a cellulose ester with high 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，CAB-381-0.5，CAB-381-2 offers a combination of solubility and compatibility, moisture resistance, excellent surface hardness, and good film strength.

CAB-381-20 Cellulose Acetate Butyrate is a cellulose ester with high butyryl content and high viscosity. Other than a higher viscosity and higher molecular weight, this cellulose ester shares the same general characteristics as CAB-381-0.1. CAB-381-0.5. CAB-381-20 offers a combination of solubility and compatibility, moisture resistance, excellent surface hardness, and good film strength. CAB-381-20 is supplied as a dry, free-flowing powder.

Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB-551-0.2) is a cellulose ester with high butyryl content and relatively low molecular weight. It is compatible with numerous cross-linking resins and has a lower solution viscosity. In coatings, CAB-551-0.2 gives clear films, reduces surface tack and mottling, minimizes cratering, improves flow and thermal reflow, and provides intercoat adhesion and good UV stability. It is useful for durable cross-linked formulations. Its good compatibility with a wide range of curing resin systems and its solubility in a wide variety of solvents and solvent combinations make it useful as an additive in numerous coating compositions.

Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB 381-0.1) 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. It will also tolerate the use of solvent blends currently exempt from certain air pollution regulations.

CAB-551-0.01 Cellulose Acetate Butyrate is a cellulose ester with high butyryl content and low viscosity, which significantly affects it solubility and compatibility. CAB-551-0.01 is soluble in styrene and methyl methacrylate monomers and will tolerate more aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon diluent than higher viscosity materials. The solubility of CAB-551-0.01 in alcohol/aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures offers an economic advantage and permits the choice of a wide range of solvents and solvent combinations. It also offers improved compatibility with various coating resins. CAB-551-0.01 is a dry, white free flowing powder convenient to handle.

CAB-381-0.5 CELLULOSE ACETATE BUTYRAT is a cellulose ester with medium butyryl content and low viscosity, designed for applications requiring low viscosity at relatively high solids. It is soluble in many solvents, compatible with various resins, and can be used with certain solvent blends exempt from specific air pollution regulations. Supplied as a dry, free-flowing powder, it is mainly used in automotive OEM paint, automotive and plastic coatings, tin coatings, motorcycle coatings, nail polish, inks, and truck/bus/commercial vehicle coatings. No specific uses are advised against.
