The challenge
挑战
Regulatory concerns threatened to force a toy manufacturer out of the European Union (EU) market. Its toys were coated with a thermoplastic acrylic substance containing nitrocellulose. The EU Toy Safety Directive limits how toys are made, including the presence of potentially hazardous materials and their flammability. Under these rules, nitrocellulose's flammability and difficulty of use make it a material of concern. Without a compliant coating, the company would have been barred from selling its toys in the EU.
监管方面的担忧有可能迫使一家玩具制造商退出欧盟（EU）市场。它的玩具涂有一种含有硝化纤维素的热塑性丙烯酸物质。《欧盟玩具安全指令》限制了玩具的制造方式，包括潜在危险物质的存在及其易燃性。根据这些规定，硝化纤维的可燃性和使用难度使其成为令人担忧的材料。如果没有合规的涂层，该公司将被禁止在欧盟销售其玩具。
The Eastman solution
伊士曼解决方案
Eastman Solus performance additives offer a safer, naturally derived alternative to nitrocellulose. The nonflammable nature of Solus allows manufacturers to reduce fire hazards in the workplace and bring peace of mind to consumers. Solus additives are also versatile and easy to handle, allowing them to be used for coatings on wood, plastic, and metal toy parts and accessories. And because Solus does not contain any materials of concern, such as nitrocellulose, it enables formulators to make compliant toy coatings.
Eastman Solus 高性能添加剂为硝化纤维素提供了一种更安全、天然衍生的替代品。Solus 的不可燃性质使制造商能够减少工作场所的火灾隐患，让消费者高枕无忧。Solus 添加剂还用途广泛且易于处理，可用于木材、塑料和金属玩具零件和配件的涂料。而且，由于Solus不含任何令人担忧的材料，例如硝化纤维素，因此配方设计师能够生产出合规的玩具涂料。
The result
结果
Solus was leveraged in a co-resin/isocyanate coating system that met EU regulations, allowing the manufacturer's toys to remain on the market. Additionally, the formulator found that the coatings powered by Solus demonstrated superior performance than the previous formula. The anti-blocking and fast-drying properties of Solus allowed for improved efficiency, and its adaptability allowed for viscosity adjustments to optimize surface properties.
Solus 在符合欧盟法规的共树脂/异氰酸酯涂层系统中得到了利用，从而使制造商的玩具得以继续投放市场。此外，配方设计师发现，由Solus驱动的涂料表现出比以前的配方更优异的性能。Solus 的防粘连和快干特性可以提高效率，其适应性允许调整粘度以优化表面特性。
Solus is backed by Eastman experts who leveraged their market and regulatory knowledge to offer the customer powerful insights. Eastman's input allowed the manufacturer and formulators to achieve compliance without compromise.
Solus 得到了伊士曼专家的支持，他们利用自己的市场和监管知识为客户提供强有力的见解。伊士曼的意见使制造商和配方设计师能够毫不妥协地实现合规性。
