Down to the smallest parts
Our performance additives offer a variety of options for formulators and manufacturers to create protective coatings in consumer electronics. These additives enhance protection against moisture, chemicals and electrical interference, ensuring durability and user-friendly application. With our additives, coatings can be customized to deliver the best protection based on the component's surface and function.
Product types
Our adhesion promoters make it possible to coat difficult-to-paint consumer electronic surfaces, such as polyolefins, with industry-standard paints. This enables designers to use standard paints on a variety of substrates and ensure consistent color matching.
Our cellulose esters provide cost savings for electronic coatings by ensuring an even distribution of metallic flakes and maintaining consistent alignment. This can potentially reduce the need for expensive paint ingredients. Moreover, the flow and leveling properties of Eastman Solus™ performance additives help create superior surface smoothness. The key benefits of cellulose esters in electronic coatings include:
Superior surface finish
Faster dry-to-touch time
Improved pigment density
Enhanced color match and harmony across various substrates
Brighter metallic finishes with enhanced metal flake orientation
Coating consumer electronic plastic surfaces protects against degradation. This helps to achieve desired visual effects and minimize electromagnetic interference. Picking the right solvents helps optimize paint adhesion and meet end-use requirements.
Our solvents, including glycol ethers, are advantageous for coating plastic substrates in consumer electronics. They’re invaluable for their compatibility with coating resins, low surface tension and minimal impact on sensitive plastics like polystyrene and polycarbonate.
