Eastman Chemical Company manufactures and markets more than 1,200 chemicals, fibers and plastics products and is the largest producer of polyester plastics for packaging. Eastman provides the necessary die, polymer and chemistry expertise, combined with global distribution channels that will help bring Konarka's technology to market. Eastman's strength and technical capabilities in the polymer market greatly compliments Konarka's ability to use conductive polymers to develop new applications with lightweight, flexible photovoltaics. Find out more.
There is market interest in next-generation technologies for solar and alternative energy. We continue to identify companies whose interests and technical expertise complement Eastman's. Today, most of the photovoltaic manufacturing is based on batch production techniques. That's good for some markets, but we believe the end-game is to replace batch manufacturing with lower cost continuous manufacturing techniques in order to open solar up to a host of new applications. As a result, we believe Konarka is uniquely positioned to enter new markets.
