Eastman™ Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB 381-2)

Chemical synonym

Cellulose Acetate Butyrate


Product description

Remarkable polymers with a renewable backbone provided by nature itself.

Eastman™ CAB-381-2 is a cellulose ester with high butyryl content and high astm(a) viscosity. 

Other than a higher viscosity and molecular weight, this cellulose ester shares the same general characteristics as CAB-381-0.1 and CAB-381-0.5. CAB-381-2 offers a combination of solubility and compatibility, moisture resistance, excellent surface hardness, and good film strength. It is supplied as a dry, free-flowing powder. 

Eastman™ cellulose esters are based on up to sixty percent cellulose, one of the most abundant natural renewable resources.

a Determination of color and haze made on a solution of the cellulose ester dissolved in mibk using pt-co color standards and johns-manville celite (diatomaceous silica products) haze standards.


b Polystyrene equivalent number average molecular weight determined by gel permeation chromatography.


c Viscosity determined by astm method d 1343. Results converted to poises (astm method d 1343) using the solution density for formula a as stated in astm method d 817 (20% cellulose ester, 72% acetone, 8% ethyl alcohol).
