- Eastman Texanol™ ester alcohol - Non VOC (per European Union Directive 2004/42/EC; European Solvent Emission Directive; China State Environmental Protection Agency; Australian Paint Approval Scheme, D181), versatile, efficient, and easy to use, the industry standard for coalescent performance.
- Eastman Optifilm™ additive OT1200 - An open time additive that allows formulators to significantly reduce VOC content in water-based trim and wall paints by replacing volatile glycols. It improves open time and wet edge without negatively affecting other paint properties.
- Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 300 - A low odor, non VOC (per European Union Directive 2004/42/EC; European Solvent Emission Directive; China State Environmental Protection Agency; Australian Paint Approval Scheme, D181) coalescent that offers excellent performance properties across a wide range of application conditions.
- Eastman Optifilm™ enhancer 400 - A low odor, extremely low VOC (<2% by EPA Federal Reference Method 24) coalescent offered in the U.S. where Eastman Optifilm™ Enhancer 300 is a VOC.
- Eastman™ EEH solvent - A fast evaporating, highly efficient coalescent delivering excellent surface hardness and a balance of performance properties.
- Eastman™ DB solvent - An effective coalescent in both architectural and industrial maintenance formulations with good surface hardness.
- Eastman™ EB solvent - An effective coalescent that improves film integrity in both architectural and industrial maintenance latex paints with good surface hardness and improved wetting of difficult substrates.
