METHYL ISOBUTYL KETONE - EASTMAN is a versatile solvent and intermediate, widely used in industrial applications. This biodegradable liquid offers excellent solvent activity with low density and low surface tension. It is compatible with various substrates, including wood, and is effective in processes such as dewaxing and polymer modification.

METHYL ACETATE - EASTMAN is a fast evaporating, mild odor, active solvent that can be used with a broad range of coating and ink resins. Because of its fast evaporation rate, this product is useful as the fast-evaporating component in high-low solvent systems and in other applications where fast solvent release and quick dry-to-touch time are needed. It is an active solvent for the following resins: cellulose acetate butyrate, nitrocellulose, vinyl copolymers, acrylics, epoxies, polyamides, phenolics, alkyds, and polyesters. Compared with other fast evaporating solvents, methyl acetate gives solution viscosity somewhat higher than acetone or MEK but lower than ethyl acetate. Where a mild odor, fast evaporating solvent is required, this product is a very good choice for formulators of coating and ink products. It is a VOC-exempt, non-HAP, non-ODS, readily biodegradable solvent that can be used in blends to develop environmentally friendly cleaners.

TEXANOL ESTER ALCOHOL - EASTMAN is an effective retarder solvent for coil coatings and high-bake enamels. Its unique properties also make it suitable for various specialty applications, including ore flotation/frothing, oil-drilling muds, wood preservative carriers, and floor polishes.

OPTIFILM ENHANCER 400 - EASTMAN is a coalescing agent for CASE applications, known for abrasion resistance, excellent adhesion, touch-up properties, film integrity, chemical stability, durability, flexibility, low odor, low VOC, and non-yellowing. It is HAPs-free, low odor, low VOC, and phthalates-free, and compatible with acrylics and latex polymers and resins.

BENZOPHENONE is a versatile product catering to various markets, including personal care, healthcare, and pharma. In personal care, it finds applications in sun care products like sunscreen cream, offering protection against harmful UV rays. Additionally, it is utilized in fragrances, adding depth and longevity to scents. In the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, is employed in pharmaceutical manufacturing, particularly API manufacturing.

CALCIUM CHLORIDE 83-87% FLAKE is well-known for being odor-free. It occurs in the form of white flakes and is a member of the calcium soap chemical family. It finds use in a variety of applications, including paints and coatings for building and construction projects, and is in compliance with FDA requirements. It is also included on the Canadian Drug and Supply List (DSSL). Because of its high purity and physical shape, is a highly favored option for paving, highways, and infrastructure projects because to its dependability and performance.

BUTYL CARBITOL SOLVENT - DOW is a versatile chemical used as a coalescing agent, coupling agent, and solvent. It is water-soluble and suitable for waterborne and solventborne inks, waterborne coatings, and latex adhesives. Applications include screen printing, felt-tip writing pen inks, ballpoint inks, and silk screen printing inks.

CARBITOL SOLVENT LOW GRAVITY - DOW is an important solvent in non-grain-raising wood stains and serves as a component of industrial cleaners. Textile printing and dyeing processes utilize to facilitate penetration into fibers and to promote the production of intense, bright shades. These characteristics, along with its high boiling point and low vapor pressure, make it useful for twist setting and yarn and cloth conditioning. Mineral oil-soap and mineral oil-sulfonated oil mixtures require fast-acting mutual solvents. Small quantities of in these mixtures form translucent-to-clear dispersions, in contrast to the usual turbid dispersion that indicates incomplete solubility.
