In today’s competitive and environmentally conscious marketplace, wood furniture makers and coating formulators face numerous challenges, from meeting stringent environmental regulations to standing out with innovative, high-performance products. Eastman wood coating additives offer a solution that addresses these challenges while enhancing both product protection and sustainability. Eastman is committed to creating products that focus on three key impact areas:
Mitigating climate changeMainstreaming circularityCaring for society by removing materials of concern (MOC)
These focus areas drive Eastman’s innovation and sustainable solutions, helping customers produce more eco-friendly products while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Sustainable solutions with Eastman Solus™ performance additives
Eastman Solus™ performance additives can play a crucial role in formulators and furniture manufacturers achieving their sustainability goals. Biobased Solus™ additives comply with the latest regulations concerning MOC and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). For instance, Solus™ does not includes any MOCs such as nitrocellulose, making the coatings less prone to combustion and safer to handle. Additionally, Solus™ is produced with fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to other coating additives and holds biodegradable certifications.
Advanced molecular recycling with Solus™ ES
Solus™ ES offers an additional layer of environmental benefits. Manufactured from certified recycled content* through Eastman’s advanced molecular recycling technology, Solus™ ES helps divert materials from the waste stream and repurpose old plastics. This innovative approach results in wood coating additives that contain up to 75% sustainable content, combining biobased materials with recycled content.
Performance and reliability
The sustainability of Solus™ additives does not compromise their performance. Solus™ creates an effective barrier as a carrier base coat or primer, eliminating common surface defects, resisting UV light and salt, and preventing yellowing. It also enhances processing requirements by reducing dry-to-touch handling times and improving flow.
Competitive advantage
By using Solus™, wood furniture manufacturers and coating formulators can gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. Coatings made with Solus™ not only look better but also last longer and stay stronger. These attributes provide users with a significant advantage as they seek innovative solutions that offer both sustainability and superior performance.
