Using Eastman™ Solvents to Replace ExxonMobil's Discontinued Exxate™ Solvents

ExxonMobil Corporation is discontinuing its complete line of Exxate™ solvents (mixed alkyl acetates). Eastman offers the formulator a broad range of solvent and coalescing options for replacing these Exxate™ solvents. It is possible that some may be used as a direct substitute thus minimizing reformulating cost. In other systems, it may be necessary to adjust the solvent balance of the coating to satisfy the requirements of the specific end use and performance requirements. Considerations include:

Odor Constraints

Environmental Concerns
• Reduced-VOC Content
• High Transfer Efficiency
• Non-HAP

Improved Application Conditions
• Low Water Content
• Good Flow and Leveling
