The challenge
挑戰
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.
監管方面的擔憂有可能迫使一家玩具製造商退出歐盟（EU）市場。它的玩具塗有一種含有硝化纖維素的熱塑性丙烯酸物質。《歐盟玩具安全指令》限制了玩具的製造方式，包括潛在危險物質的存在及其易燃性。根據這些規定，硝化纖維的可燃性和使用難度使其成爲令人擔憂的材料。如果沒有合規的塗層，該公司將被禁止在歐盟銷售其玩具。
The Eastman solution
伊士曼解決方案
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 高性能添加劑爲硝化纖維素提供了一種更安全、天然衍生的替代品。Solus 的不可燃性質使製造商能夠減少工作場所的火災隱患，讓消費者高枕無憂。Solus 添加劑還用途廣泛且易於處理，可用於木材、塑料和金屬玩具零件和配件的塗料。而且，由於Solus不含任何令人擔憂的材料，例如硝化纖維素，因此配方設計師能夠生產出合規的玩具塗料。
The result
結果
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 在符合歐盟法規的共樹脂/異氰酸酯塗層系統中得到了利用，從而使製造商的玩具得以繼續投放市場。此外，配方設計師發現，由Solus驅動的塗料表現出比以前的配方更優異的性能。Solus 的防粘連和快乾特性可以提高效率，其適應性允許調整粘度以優化表面特性。
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 得到了伊士曼專家的支持，他們利用自己的市場和監管知識爲客戶提供強有力的見解。伊士曼的意見使製造商和配方設計師能夠毫不妥協地實現合規性。
