Product types
Eastman neutralizing amines adjust the pH of paint while enhancing performance attributes such as pigment dispersion and emulsion stability.
We offer coalescents, such as Eastman Optifilm™ enhancers, that help you stay compliant with regulations on volatile organic compounds (VOC), meet customer requirements and deliver high performance. These products offer a range of options to meet current and future needs globally. They are non- or low-VOC, low-odor, efficient, nonyellowing and safe.
