Does Eastman offer any solvents that have been exempted as VOCs?

In 1995, the EPA deemed acetone to be VOC exempt and in 1998, methyl acetate was also ruled VOC exempt. Formulators can now use as much acetone or methyl acetate as desired without reporting them as VOCs. Acetone and methyl acetate are considered fast evaporating solvents. Information on HAPS and VOCs listing for Eastman products, is available at this on-line publication: M-290 – Clean Air Act Initiatives That Impact the Use of Solvents in the Coatings Industry .
