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.

DYMEREX RESIN is a pale, acidic, thermoplastic, high softening point resin. It is composed predominately of dimeric acids derived from rosin with lesser amounts of monomeric resin acids and neutral materials of rosin origin. Dymerex modified resin has high resistance to oxidation and does not crystallize from solutions or from solid compositions. It is compatible with many natural and synthetic film formers and rubbers. Being an acidic resin, it reacts readily with polyalcohols or hydrated lime to yield high melting derivatives. DYMEREX RESIN offers a alcohol-soluble, noncrystallin, resistant to oxidation, thermoplastic rosin acid and providing a very high softening point. DYMEREX RESIN is recommended to use in assembly, bookbinding, cable filling and flooding, caulks and sealants, contact adhesives, footwear and leather, hot melt adhesives, laminating, pressure sensitive, solventborne adhesives, tapes and labels, wax modification applications.
