Eastman Chemical Co. is highlighting its newest commercialized product in the Solus™ portfolio at Stand 9-305. Solus 3050 is specifically engineered to help formulators meet VOC, performance and productivity goals in waterborne coatings systems. Derived from natural and renewable cellulose material, it will be of interest to the automotive, industrial metal and consumer electronics coatings markets. Performance benefits include smoother finish, optimal metallic flake control, better redissolve/strike-in resistance, superior flow and leveling, improved atomization, and greater adhesion to galvanized steel.

The company is also introducing Eastman Optifilm™ additive OT1200. This additive allows formulators to significantly reduce VOC content in water-based trim and wall paints by replacing volatile glycols while improving open time and wet edge, without negatively affecting other paint properties. It also performs well over a range of application conditions. The additive helps meet a global need of architectural paint formulators to develop compliant solutions that meet regulatory standards without compromising performance.
