Eastman Chemical Company, supplier of pure monomer resins, is introducing its new line of low volatile pure monomer resins including: Kristalex 5140LV, Kristalex 3115LV, Kristalex 3100LV and Plastolyn 290LV.

The company says the new low volatile pure monomer resin brands will continue to offer the high performance, color, and stability standards set by Eastman’s well-known pure monomer product line while offering lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Eastman pure monomer resins are used to balance cohesion, melt viscosity, and mechanical properties of various polymers.

Recent environmental concerns regarding VOCs in various formulations prompted Eastman to develop the new low volatile resins.

While the new low volatile pure monomer resins have the same performance standards as traditional Eastman pure monomer resins, they also offer the assurance of a certified, lower volatility pure monomer resin with lower residual monomer says the company. Combining those properties with high performance standards, the new line of low volatile pure monomer resins is an ideal fit for anyone with increased concerns about VOCs, but unwilling to sacrifice the performance of a traditional Eastman PMR.
