S A F E G U A R D I N G CABLE P E R F O R M A N C E — A m o n g t h e oldest protective coating applications for Eastman cellulose acetate is wire and cable lacquer. Such lacquers provide an excellent waterproof coating along with toughness and abrasion resistance. Lacquers made with Eastman cellulose acetate butyrate a r e also used in this field, particularly for the protection of ignition cables and other specialized wiring.
W A T E R P R O O F I N G FIBER—Half-Second Butyrate (Eastman's lowviscosity cellulose acetate butyrate) is used to make fiber weaving materials water-repellent. The fiber stripping is passed through a hot melt of Half-Second Butyrate, emerging with a clear coating which maintains its gloss and strength despite the damaging effects of repeated washings and outdoor exposure. The coating also resists scuffing and the attack of mild acids and alcohol.
P R O T E C T I N G A L U M I N U M O U T D O O R S — P r o l o n g e d testing with a leading user of aluminum traiter trucks shows that clear lacquer made with Eastman Half-Second Butyrate can furnish long-lasting protection for outdoor aluminum surfaces against pitting and spotting. What's more, these lacquers can be applied easily and inexpensively, for no prime coat is needed on properly cleaned surfaces, a n d the lacquers air-dry in three to five minutes.
