Introduction

The Eastman Solvent Reformulation is an interactive tool to assist in making a solvent reformulation calculation to EASTMAN.

Solvent Selection:

• Select an option from the Solvent Group drop down.
• Select one or more solvents from the Solvent Selection list box.
• Click on "Add Selected Solvent(s)" for adding the selected solvent to the table.
• Click on "Add Unlisted Solvent" to add a solvent not available in the list.
• Click on the "Clear All Solvents" for clearing all the selected solvents from the table.
• Specific solvent from the table can be deleted by clicking on the corresponding delete button.
• Enter values in the Weight % or Volume % and Cents Per Pound for all the selected solvent.
• Click on the "View Solvent Blend Profile" button to navigate to the datasheet screen.
• A maximum of 20 solvents can be selected.

Add New Solvent Screen:

• Enter all the data and click on the button "Add Solvent" to add the unlisted solvent to the table.
• To return back to the solvent selection without adding the unlisted solvent click on the button "Cancel".

DataSheet Screen:

• The normalized datasheet is the default datasheet displayed.
• The Retain datasheet is obtained by clicking the button "Retain Volume / Weight".
• Click on the link "Simulated Evaporation Profile" to open the Simulated Evaporation data and Simulated Evaporation profile screen in a new window.
• Click on the link "Escape Coefficient by Type" to open the "Evaporation data screen" in a new window.
• The summary report of all the iteration could be obtained by clicking on the link "Reformulation Summary".
• Clicking on the "Next Solvent Blend" link can start the next iteration.
• The datasheet data could be downloaded to spreadsheet format by clicking "Download To Spreadsheet".
• The printer friendly version of the displayed data is obtained by clicking on the link " Printer friendly Report".
• Click on the "Return To selection screen" to navigate to the solvent selection screen for the current iteration.

Reformulation Summary:

• The summary data could be downloaded to spreadsheet format by clicking "Download To Spreadsheet".
