compatibility in solvent based coatings and has low tendency to
cause craters or impact gloss or clarity of the coatings.
• Dow Corning 8590 Additive
Dow Corning 8590 Additive shows good compatibility in waterborne coatings and ink systems and has a low tendency to
cause surface defects. Performs at low dosages and over wide
temperature range. Low viscosity allows easy disperibility into
waterborne paints and inks.

methacrylates
• Oligomers for 3D Printing Inks & Resins
Selection consists of oligomers with varying Tgs that allow for
flexibility in mechanical properties. Formulators looking to
eliminate object deformation can select an oligomer with a high
Tg and low linear shrinkage. The oligomers also cover a large
range of viscosities so formulators can achieve the flow characteristics they desire.
• Oligomers for LED-Curing Nail Gel Coatings
The oligomers help to overcome
common nail coating issues such
as low gloss, color drift, regulatory compliance issues, premature
chipping, and high heat generation
during cure. Coatings formulated
with Bomar oligomers have a non-yellowing, high-gloss finish for vibrant coatings, and exhibit excellent durability for a longer lasting salon-fresh look.

Types of additives offered: Cellulose esters (rheology modification, defect control, color consistency), Adhesion promoters
(adhesion to modified polypropylene substrates, other plastics), Solvents (for desired application/performance characteristics), Resin Intermediates (unique structural options for
coating resins to meet performance properties), Additives
(faster dry-to-touch time, excellent anti-sag behavior, ease of
sanding).
• Eastman Texanol ester alcohol
Eastman Texanol ester alcohol, the premier coalescent for latex
paints, provides the highest level of film integrity at low levels
of coalescent. Eastman Texanol is suitable for all types of latex
paints and maintains good performance regardless of varying
weather conditions and substrate porosity.
• Eastman Optifilm additives
Eastman Optifilm additives for low-VOC paint are compliant,
low odor, efficient, non-yellowing, and safe. Our Optifilm coalescent and open time additives keep you ahead of VOC regulations and customer requirements without falling behind in
performance.
