- Description: Eastman Chemical can recall its past through photos -- it was once part of film giant Eastman Kodak. The company has developed into a major producer of chemicals, fibers, and plastics. Its chemicals include raw materials for coatings, adhesives, inks, and performance chemicals. Eastman Chemical, through its Voridian unit, also produces polymers used by industrial customers to manufacture such products as food and medical packaging, films, tape, and toothbrushes. Voridian is the world's largest maker of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a plastic used to make packaging for soft drinks, food, and water. Voridian also churns out tons of acetate tow, used in cigarette filters, and yarn used in apparel and fabrics.
