Eastman Tetrashield^™

Tetrashield protective resin systems improve a formula’s durability, reduce potentially hazardous ingredients and eliminate energy-intensive manufacturing steps. This results in better products, processes and planetary protection.

Create better coatings

Tetrashield resins make work easier throughout a product’s life span. Formulators benefit from the customization it allows as well as its low volatile organic compound (VOC) content and Eastman technical support. Manufacturers can trust coatings made with Tetrashield because of their proven durability and ease of use in the application process. And end users can count on it to remain strong, protective and appealing without continual maintenance, thanks to its superior weathering protection. It’s also versatile enough to work across a range of applications.

Durability. Productivity. Sustainability. That’s the Tetrashield difference.

Improved product and process

Tetrashield resins increase formula strength and remove potentially harmful ingredients. They also withstand the manufacturing process, making them easier to use.

Automotive coatings

Tetrashield uses a unique monomer technology to address shortcomings in traditional automotive resins. The result is increased hydrolysis resistance, enhanced rigidity properties and improved compatibility with common formulation ingredients. This helps products made with our resins last longer and look better.
