Adhesives and sealants

Eastman plasticizers improve the performance and processability of adhesive formulations. They contribute to better flowability, low-temperature flexibility and improved tack. These attributes make them suitable for a range of adhesive applications. Our non-phthalate solutions can also serve as effective alternatives to traditional phthalate plasticizers, removing potential regulatory issues.

For sealants and caulks, Eastman’s dibenzoate plasticizers offer an optimal balance of performance and value. Our plasticizers are formulated to meet the stringent requirements of these applications. They promote better low-temperature properties, allow for higher filler loadings, optimize adhesion to various substrates, and deliver flexibility and superior performance.

Our plasticizers provide other necessary properties to enhance the performance of adhesives, sealants and caulks, including:

• Elasticity
• Optimized viscosity
• Set-time functionality
• Impact resistance
• Tack

Our products enable manufacturers to meet regulatory demands while maintaining or improving product quality. Moreover, our non-phthalate alternatives can seamlessly replace phthalates in most cases, requiring minimal manufacturing changes.
