ChemPoint, a subsidiary of the global chemical distributor Univar Solutions, has expanded its existing commercial relationship with the materials company Eastman to manage the marketing and distribution of a product line known as TamiSolve™ NxG solvents across the United States and Canada. This arrangement builds upon a collaborative history spanning more than ten years.
The TamiSolve™ NxG solvents in question are designed for utilization across a diverse set of industrial processes, including the production of coatings, inks, cleaning agents, and agrochemicals. A principal characteristic of these solvents is their potential to serve as alternatives for other industrial chemicals — such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone (NEP) — which are subject to regulatory scrutiny due to their hazardous classifications.
The partnership is positioned to leverage ChemPoint's specialized distribution network to broaden market access for these alternative formulations.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Alternative Solvent Solutions
- Emerging alternative solvents like TamiSolve™ NxG provide a safer and more sustainable option for industrial processes compared to traditional hazardous chemicals.
- Sustainable Chemical Distribution Models
- The collaboration between ChemPoint and Eastman highlights the importance of sustainable practices in chemical distribution to meet regulatory demands.
- Regulatory-friendly Chemical Innovations
- Developing solvents that comply with stringent regulations presents significant innovation opportunities for chemical manufacturers to differentiate their offerings.
Sectors Adopting This
- Chemical Manufacturing
- The chemical manufacturing industry is witnessing a shift towards producing eco-friendly solvents that meet safety standards.
- Industrial Coatings and Inks
- Industries producing coatings and inks are increasingly adopting safer solvent alternatives to align with environmental regulations.
- Agrochemical Production
- The agrochemical industry is poised to benefit from new solvent technologies that offer reduced environmental impact and improved regulatory compliance.
