EASTMAN™ 2-ETHYL HEXANOL is a versatile solvent featuring excellent reactivity as a chemical intermediate. It serves as a chain terminator in synthesizing condensation polymers and as an intermediate for plasticizers. EASTMAN™ 2-ETHYL HEXANOL has low volatility and enhances the flow and gloss of baking enamels. It is also used as a dispersing agent for pigment pastes. EASTMAN™ 2-ETHYL HEXANOL complies with REACH.

EASTMAN™ TXIB FORMULATION ADDITIVE is the lowest viscosity (9 cps) additive available to the flexible PVC industry. EASTMAN™ TXIB FORMULATION ADDITIVE is completely compatible with PVC in all proportions and is usually blended with general-purpose plasticizers such as DOP or DOTP. EASTMAN™ TXIB FORMULATION ADDITIVE formulation additive has efficiency generally equal to DOP, which makes substitution in a vinyl formulation very easy. It imparts a dry surface to the vinyl, excellent resistance to staining, and physical properties equivalent to DOP. EASTMAN™ TXIB FORMULATION ADDITIVE is also used in inks, coatings, urethane elastomers, and nail polish lacquers.
