Eastman has developed a new coatings technology that provides both superior performance and sustainability advantages. Tetrashield protective resin systems show significant improvements in weathering and a better balance of hardness and flexibility when compared to traditional resins used in industrial and automotive coatings. Attendees of the Future of Coatings Under Study (FOCUS) Conference in Troy, Michigan, will get an overview of this new technology during a presentation on Thursday, May 4, from 3:30 p.m.-4 p.m*. Dr. Linqian Feng, an advanced research scientist in coating application development at Eastman Chemical Company, will explain how Tetrashield improves the weatherability, appearance, and scratch resistance of automotive coatings. Not only does Tetrashield provide appearance improvements and extend the life of coatings, but it can also enable OEMs to achieve a 10-15 percent reduction in VOCs creating a potential 10-15 percent increase in throughput. Tetrashield is a new product that originates from Eastman’s rich history of polymer design and innovation. It is one of the newest additions to Eastman’s extensive portfolio of products for industrial, transportation, and other coatings end markets. Eastman has a long track record of building customer relationships and developing innovative coatings ingredients that help our customers solve tough industry challenges. The company’s table at FOCUS will provide additional information on our line of materials for automotive coatings. Conference attendees are invited to stop by the Eastman table to learn more about Tetrashield and other automotive coating technologies.
