Features Of Eastman Retarder Solvent Retarder Solvent

  1. Effectively extends open time and working window for solvent-based coatings and inks without compromising film integrity.

  2. Low volatility and high boiling point ensure controlled evaporation rate, reducing blushing and orange peel defects.

  3. Compatible with a broad range of nitrocellulose, acrylic, and polyester resin systems.

  4. Non-reactive diluent—does not participate in curing reactions, preserving formulation stability and shelf life.

  5. Low odor profile compared to traditional glycol ether retarders, supporting improved workplace air quality.

Typical Applications Of Eastman Retarder Solvent Retarder Solvent

  1. Automotive refinish clearcoats and basecoats requiring extended spray-to-flash interval.

  2. Industrial wood finishes where uniform flow and leveling are critical on vertical substrates.

  3. Gravure and flexographic inks for high-speed printing on heat-sensitive films.

  4. Architectural solvent-borne primers and topcoats applied in hot or low-humidity conditions.

  5. Plastic coatings for ABS and polycarbonate substrates demanding defect-free surface appearance.
