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.
