Eastman™ resin intermediates are available in bulk and various package sizes. Please contact Eastman Technical Service or your Eastman sales representative for packaging options and availability.
CHDM-D90 is a CHDM-D/water mixture exhibiting multiple melting points across this range. This complexity makes melting and freezing point determinations difficult. Eastman suggests CHDM-D90 be stored and handled at temperatures between 230° and 140°C.
