Introduction

Both fabric and garment designers are rediscovering the fresh look and rich aesthetics possible when using Chromspun and Estron acetate yarns. Eastman produces more than 300 different types of Estron acetate yarn and Chromspun colored acetate yarn. Chromspun acetate yarn is the product of choice for many high fashion fabrics and is available in a rainbow of colors. Who knows, you might be wearing something made with Eastman fibers right now.

Eastman offers the products you need to combine the style, appeal, durability, and toughness necessary to succeed worldwide in the highly competitive, image-conscious eyewear market. Eastman's Tenite cellulosic plastic and Eastar copolyester allow you to produce highly competitive fashion sunglasses, eyewear frames, or safety glasses. Both have an excellent balance of physical and chemical properties: lightweight yet tough, elasticity, resistance to a wide range of temperatures, and chemical resistance. And they are easy to process and economical to use.
