Eastman™ Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB 531-1)

Product description

Eastman Cellulose Acetate Butyrate (CAB-531-1) is a cellulose ester with a higher butyryl level than Eastman CAB- 381 type esters.

Tough films with good resistance to marring and weathering are possible through combinations of cellulose acetate butyrate with thermoplastic acrylic resins.

Eastman CAB-531-1 and CAB-381 esters are similar in hydroxyl content and solubility characteristics, both being soluble in a wide range of solvents.

Eastman CAB-531-1 is a more flexible resin requiring lower plasticizer modification than the eastman CAB-381 esters.

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