The deal includes key trademarks, customer relationships, technical documentation and intellectual property tied to the Jarylec dielectric fluids business, a product line widely used in high-voltage transformers and critical power grid applications.

 

“This acquisition is a strategic move to leverage Eastman’s world-class technology platforms and enhance offerings to service the needs of the dielectric fluids market,” said Sharon Dunn, general manager, specialty fluids and energy, Eastman. 

 

“Customers can expect quality and service under the trusted Jarylec brand, now backed by Eastman’s manufacturing expertise and global technical service network.”

 

The acquisition further expands Eastman’s specialty fluids portfolio as utilities and energy operators continue to invest in grid modernization and reliability.
