Start with a solid foundation
Metal rolls and sheets serve as the foundation for manufacturing processes across various industries. They provide a sturdy base for production, enabling efficient and cost-effective operations. Metal coils also simplify supply chain management by offering a readily available and versatile material for manufacturers.
To ensure longevity of metal coils, it is crucial to apply a protective coating to act as a barrier, shielding the metal from corrosion, abrasion or other forms of damage. It can also enhance the durability of the coils, allowing them to withstand the rigors of manufacturing processes.
Eastman performance additives offer a solution to extend the life span of these coils. With specialized additives designed for coatings, they provide an extra layer of protection against corrosion, enhance durability and aesthetics, and ensure compliance with industry regulations. By incorporating these additives into the coating formulation, manufacturers can effectively protect their coated metal rolls and optimize their manufacturing processes.
Product types
These performance additives are designed to enhance adhesion of coatings on metal and plastic substrates.
Eastman cellulose esters are ideal for achieving increased line speeds and ensuring higher-quality finished products.
Eastman’s resin intermediates serve as the foundation for acrylic and polyester resins in coil coatings. They help reduce VOC requirements while maintaining toughness, weather resistance and flexibility.
Eastman offers a wide range of solvents to achieve the desired balance of appearance and film properties in coil coatings.
