Eco-Friendly Wood Coating Additives: Eastman Solus for Sustainable Performance
In today's environmentally conscious and competitive market, wood furniture manufacturers and coating developers face significant challenges, from adhering to strict environmental standards to creating standout, high-performance products. Eastman wood coating additives present a solution that not only addresses these challenges but also enhances product protection and sustainability. Eastman is dedicated to developing products with a focus on three crucial impact areas:
- Reducing climate change
- Advancing circularity
- Prioritizing societal well-being by eliminating materials of concern (MOC)
These focus areas drive Eastman’s innovation and sustainable practices, aiding customers in producing more eco-friendly products while decreasing dependence on fossil fuels.
Sustainable Solutions with Eastman Solus Performance Additives
Eastman Solus performance additives play a vital role in helping formulators and furniture makers meet their sustainability objectives. The biobased Solus additives comply with the latest regulations regarding MOC and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Notably, Solus does not contain any MOCs such as nitrocellulose, making the coatings safer and less combustible. Additionally, Solus is produced with lower greenhouse gas emissions than other coating additives and has earned biodegradable certifications.
Advanced Molecular Recycling with Solus ES
Solus ES offers additional environmental benefits, being manufactured from certified recycled content through Eastman’s advanced molecular recycling technology. This process diverts materials from the waste stream and repurposes old plastics, resulting in wood coating additives that contain up to 75% sustainable content, blending biobased materials with recycled content.
Performance and Reliability
The sustainability of Solus additives does not compromise their effectiveness. Solus provides a robust barrier as a carrier base coat or primer, preventing common surface defects, resisting UV light and salt, and reducing yellowing. It also optimizes processing by shortening dry-to-touch times and improving flow.
Competitive Advantage
By incorporating Solus, wood furniture manufacturers and coating formulators can gain a competitive advantage in the market. Coatings made with Solus™ not only enhance appearance but also offer longer-lasting and more durable protection. These benefits give users a distinct edge as they seek innovative solutions that deliver both sustainability and superior performance.
