Eastman TXIB™ for Coatings and Printing Inks
Product Summary: This Eastman TXIB™ formulation additive is tailored for coatings, paints, printing inks, and textile pastes. Its low surface tension (27.56 dynes/cm at 25°C) and fast evaporation rate (0.674 g/1000cm²/h at 100°C) promote smooth, dry surfaces with improved printability and wipeability. It also enhances scratch resistance and antifouling properties. Suitable for PVC-based coatings and other systems.
Key Features
- Dry and beautiful surface: Provides a drier surface layer, enhancing product aesthetics.
- Improved printability and wipeability: Facilitates better ink adhesion and easy cleaning.
- Anti-fouling: Achieves better anti-fouling effect, keeping surfaces clean.
- Scratch resistance: Increases surface wear resistance, reducing scratches.
- Low surface tension: 27.56 dynes/cm at 25°C for improved wetting and leveling.

FAQ
Q1: How does TXIB improve printability?
TXIB lowers surface tension and promotes a dry film, which enhances ink wetting and adhesion, resulting in better print quality.
Q2: Can it be used in water-based coatings?
TXIB is primarily used in solvent-based systems, but with proper formulation it can be incorporated into water-based systems. Consult our technical team for specifics.
Q3: Does it affect the drying time?
TXIB has a moderate evaporation rate, which can be adjusted in combination with other solvents to control drying.
Q4: What is the recommended dosage?
Typical usage ranges from 5-20% of the total formulation, depending on the desired viscosity reduction and surface properties.
Q5: Is TXIB compatible with acrylic resins?
Yes, TXIB exhibits excellent compatibility with many resin systems, including acrylics.
Q6: Can I get a sample for testing?
Yes, please contact us to request a sample for evaluation.
Q7: What are the storage conditions?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed.
Q8: Do you offer technical support?
Yes, our R&D team and laboratory can assist with formulation and testing.
