Features Of Eastman Retarder Solvent

  1. Effectively extends open time and improves flow/leveling in solvent-borne coatings and inks.

  2. Low volatility with high boiling point ensures controlled evaporation without compromising film formation.

  3. Excellent compatibility with common resins including acrylics, alkyds, cellulose esters, and nitrocellulose.

  4. Non-reactive diluent—does not participate in curing reactions, preserving formulation integrity.

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

Typical Applications Of Eastman Retarder Solvent

  1. Automotive refinish coatings requiring extended wet-edge time for seamless blending.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings applied in hot or low-humidity environments.

  3. Gravure and flexographic printing inks where precise drying control is critical.

  4. Wood finishing systems—including lacquers and stains—to reduce blushing and improve gloss uniformity.

  5. Architectural trim and cabinet coatings demanding superior sag resistance and leveling.
