Eastman t-BAA (t-butyl acetoacetate) can be used to deliver the acetoacetate functionality onto any hydroxyl bearing resin, such as polyesters, acrylics, epoxies, and cellulosics. Eastman has demonstrated that t-BAA offers the benefits of reduced resin solution viscosity, conventional crosslinking capability, alternative crosslinking capability, and improved adhesion to metal substrates in coatings applications. The Eastman t-BAA Acetoacetylation Calculator is an interactive tool to assist in determining the proper amounts of t-BAA to use to convert the desired amount of resin hydroxyl groups and the theoretical amount of t-butanol evolved. |
