EASTMAN™ MAK has a high solvent activity, slow evaporation rate, low density, low surfacetension, and high boiling point. These properties make MAK a very good solvent for cellulosic lacquers, acryliclacquers, and high-solids coatings. Also used as a polymerization solvent for high solids acrylic resins. EASTMAN™ MAK can be used for the applications for auto OEM, auto finish, general industrial coatings, herbicides int, paints & coatings & process solvent.

EASTMAN™ MIAK has a high solvent activity, slow evaporation rate, low density, low surfacetension, and high boiling point. These properties make MAK a very good solvent for cellulosic lacquers, acryliclacquers, and high-solids coatings. Also used as a polymerization solvent for high solids acrylic resins.

EASTMAN™ OPTIFILM ENHANCER 400 is an efficient coalescent that aids in the development of latex paints that have a good balance of performance properties. EASTMAN™ OPTIFILM ENHANCER 400 delivers excellent film integrity, touch-up properties, and scrub resistance, even at the lowest VOC demands. Paints prepared with EASTMAN™ OPTIFILM ENHANCER 400 have also demonstrated good exterior durability after one year of exposure.

EASTMAN™ 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 are 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. When CAB-381-0.1 is dissolved in appropriate solvents a clear, colorless solution is produced. It is supplied as a dry, free-flowing powder.
