Eastman Cellulose Esters have been used for decades in automotive OEM coatings as binders, coating additives, film formers, and rheology modifiers. Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB) resins give you control over the formulation attributes such as hardness, reactivity, and resistance.
Eastman Solus™ performance additives are the newest cellulose esters designed for compatibility with low-VOC systems and improve performance in clear, pigmented, and metallic automotive coatings.
