Why does Eastman sell FIVE types of emulsifiable low-molecular-weight polyethylenes? For the same reason that your maintenance man might put five screw-drivers in his kit: because it is easiest and best to use specific tools for specific jobs. Eastman makes a range of five emulsifiable low-molecularweight polyethylenes-Epolene E-10, E - l l , E-12, E-14 and E-15—that provide different hardnesses, softening points, densities and melt viscosities. All of them readily form lowcolor emulsions for use in anionic, cationic and nonionic systems. If you are formulating floor polishes, you will find the various types offer you latitude in imparting buffability, gloss, durability, slip- and scuff-resistance to your products. If your interest lies in textile finishes, the five Epolene lowmolecular-weight polyethylenes allow you to suit your softener exactly to the particular fibers, fabrics and finishes you or your customers are running. For many uses, wherever you seek to alter tack, adhesiveness, lubricity, gloss, Eastman's range of emulsifiable Epolene resins will help you get results
that you just cannot obtain with a single polyethylene. Get in touch with your Eastman representative to learn more of Eastman's emulsifiable low-molecular-weight polyethylenes, and how easy it is to emulsify them in either opentank or pressurized systems. (And remember, Eastman makes eight non-emulsifiable Epolene resins as well. ) Or, if you wish, write Chemicals Division, EASTMAN CHEMICAL PRODUCTS, INC., subsidiary of Eastman Kodak Company, KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE.
