Eastman™ Cellulose Acetate Propionate (CAP-482-20)

Eastman™ cellulose esters (CAB, CAP, and CA) are versatile problem solvers made from a green, sustainable and renewable resource that can be used as binders, additives, film formers or modifiers in paints, coatings, primers, lacquers and enamels for automotive, wood, plastic, paper, consumer electronics and leather applications, in graphic arts, inks and overprint varnishes. These high Tg materials provide improvements in key properties such as rheology control, dry time, appearance, metal flake orientation, sag, flow and leveling, block resistance and print resistance.

CAP-482-20 has similar characteristics to CAP-482-0.5, but with a higher viscosity. It is useful as a film former in inks, overprint varnishes, and nail lacquer topcoats and is compliant with FDA additive regulations for use in certain food contact applications.
