Eastman's range of cellulose esters and adhesion promoters for the transportation market……

Enhancing Rheology
Paint is so much more than just a question of color. Eastman Cellulose Esters ensure the coating material has the correct rheological properties, flowing evenly to provide a uniform finish. Using Eastman Cellulose Esters greatly reduces sagging, pitting, picture framing, orange peeling, fish-eyeing, floating, flooding, crawling and telegraphing – all the problems that plague an OEM or paint shop.

Color Consistency & Match!
The unique combinations of specific rheological properties and high Tg of Eastman Cellulose Esters deliver to a pigmented paint system improved color consistency and matching, critical to maintaining both quality and cost control in today's demanding transportation, paint and OEM systems.

Eastman Adhesion Promoters for Automotive Coatings
Polypropylene, Polyethylene and Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) plastics are used extensively for automotive parts. These substrates are non-polar and highly resistant to typical coatings solvents, making it difficult for coatings to adhere. Eastman Adhesion Promoters help the coating adhere to a substrate and retain adhesion even after being subjected to difficult environmental attack agents such as gasoline, high humidity and hot water spray.

Resin Intermediates
As the building block for better resins, Eastman's resin intermediates help formulators to achieve the needed balance of coatings properties in transportation coatings.
