Eastman™ Cellulose Esters are organic acid esters of cellulose including cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), and cellulose acetate propionate (CAP). They are used as binders, additives, film formers or modifiers in paints, coatings, primers, lacquers and enamels for automotive, wood, plastic, paper, consumer electronics and leather applications, in graphic arts, inks and overprint varnishes.. Eastman™ cellulose esters are available in various molecular weights, substitution ratios, and hydroxyl contents. Made from a green, sustainable and renewable resource, their high Tg, Newtonian flow characteristics, and hydroxyl functionality assure a rapid drying time, excellent hardness, reduced blocking, and improved flow and leveling capabilities. They also feature sprayability, reduced cratering, sag control, and good UV stability, as well as other various benefits suited to diverse and challenging environments.
Cellulose Esters enhance appearance, performance and protection capabilities of wood coatings and finishes. They are used as co-resin or additive to provide benefits to 2K PU/acrylics, acid-cured and UV-cured formulations.

Cellulose esters (CE’s) are versatile formulating tools that provide a number of benefits to coatings and inks. Because of compatibility with a number of monomers and solvents they can be used in UV curable systems to reduce shrinkage, prevent cratering, improve gloss, and improve pigment dispersion and oreintation.
