Eastman Isobutyl Alcohol

Eastman Isobutyl Alcohol is a high-purity, low-odor solvent from Eastman’s specialty alcohols portfolio. Designed for coatings, inks, and cleaning formulations, it offers excellent solvency, slow evaporation rate, and low water miscibility. Its branched-chain structure enhances performance in nitrocellulose and acrylic systems while improving viscosity control and film formation.

Features Of Eastman Isobutyl Alcohol

  1. High-purity isobutyl alcohol with consistent batch-to-batch quality for reliable process performance.

  2. Low water content enhances stability in moisture-sensitive formulations such as coatings and resins.

  3. Excellent solvency for cellulose esters, acrylics, and alkyd resins—ideal for high-solids coating systems.

  4. Low toxicity profile relative to alternative higher alcohols, supporting safer handling and regulatory compliance.

  5. Controlled volatility balances evaporation rate and film formation in industrial coating applications.

Typical Applications Of Eastman Isobutyl Alcohol

  1. Solvent in automotive and industrial maintenance coatings, including primers and clearcoats.

  2. Reaction medium and co-solvent in the production of isobutyrate esters (e.g., cellulose isobutyrate).

  3. Component in printing inks for improved pigment dispersion and substrate wetting.

  4. Intermediate solvent in agrochemical formulations requiring low odor and moderate evaporation rate.

  5. Carrier solvent in specialty cleaning agents for precision metal and electronics cleaning.
