Cellulose Acetate Butyrate
Product description
Eastman Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB-381-20) is a cellulose ester with high butyryl content and high astm(a) viscosity.
Other than a higher viscosity and higher molecular weight, this cellulose ester shares the same general characteristics as CAB-381-0.1 and cab-381-0.5.
CAB-381-20 offers a combination of solubility and compatibility, moisture resistance, excellent surface hardness, and good film strength.
CAB-381-20 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.
