Solus™ 3050 is a performance additive designed to improve metallic pigment orientation, flow and leveling, and dry to touch time in water-based and low VOC coatings. Solus™ 3050 differs from other cellulose esters in that it can tolerate water without causing any appearance issues. Smooth and bright automotive basecoats can be achieved without sacrificing productivity of paint lines by including Solus™ 3050 in the paint formulation. Because Solus™ 3050 improves metallic pigment orientation lower grade metal flakes can be used to achieve the same appearance as high end metallic flakes allowing for a significant cost savings.
Tolerates water Improved metallic pigment orientation and flop Decreased dry to touch time Superior flow and leveling Reduced color drift Improved color uniformity and pigment wetting
Problems Solved
Poor metallic pigment orientation Poor brightness in basecoats Surface defects Slow dry time of low VOC coatings
Applications
Automotive Coatings; Aerosol Coating; Industrial Coatings; Wood Coatings; Metal Coatings
Eastman Solus™ performance additives are the newest cellulose esters designed for high-solids solvent-borne systems. Solus™ is specifically engineered to meet lower VOC target while improving performance in clear, pigmented and metallic automotive coatings.
