Features Of Eastman Isobutanol

  1. High-purity, bio-based isobutanol produced via advanced fermentation technology.

  2. Lower water solubility and higher boiling point compared to ethanol—enabling improved formulation stability.

  3. Excellent solvent power for resins, coatings, and cellulose esters with low volatility and reduced odor.

  4. Compatible with conventional hydrocarbon fuel infrastructure as a gasoline blendstock or oxygenate extender.

  5. REACH-registered and compliant with major global regulatory frameworks for industrial use.

Typical Applications Of Eastman Isobutanol

  1. Coatings and inks: Solvent carrier for acrylics, alkyds, and nitrocellulose systems.

  2. Fuel blending: Oxygenated component in gasoline (up to 12.5 vol% under ASTM D4814).

  3. Chemical intermediate: Precursor for isobutyl acetate, isobutyl acrylate, and plasticizers.

  4. Cleaning formulations: Active ingredient in industrial degreasers and precision cleaning agents.
