Eastman™ SAIB is a stable liquid that is soluble in most alcohols, vegetable oils, flavoring oils, animal fats, and vegetable-based waxes. It has light color and good thermal stability. Its also has good color stability to heat and UV light. Hydrolytic stability is also excellent. Although SAIB is a very viscous liquid, it has the unique characteristic of changing viscosity abruptly upon the addition of solvent or an increase in temperature. Eastman™ SAIB-90EA is a low-viscosity solution of 90% by weight SAIB and 10% ethyl acetate. In addition to its applications in coatings, Eastman™ SAIB-90EA is used in nail polish lacquers.
