“The equipment is accurate within 7-8 microns in 3-dimensional space. To put that into perspective, the average diameter of a human hair is 75 microns. This level of precision helps ensure that the patterns we design, across the globe, are among the best fitting patterns from any manufacturer or marketer of paint protection film.”
	This latest advance is a continuation of Eastman’s commitment to developing a world-class paint protection film offering for our customers, through ever-evolving support of the LLumar®, SunTek® and V-Kool® brands. Eastman recognizes that high-quality paint protection films, installation support, patterns and cutting software are critical components of dealer success and consumer satisfaction.
	Additional investments made to further channel partners’ success include an October 2017 launch of Eastman’s Pattern and Software Design Center; and the March 2018 completion of a state-of-the-art urethane extrusion line at Eastman’s plant in Martinsville, Virginia. The expansion of Eastman’s worldwide footprint of state-of-the-art installation training centers continues as well, with the addition of locations in Houston, TX, Dania Beach, FL, Toronto, Canada and Shanghai, China since late 2018, bringing the total number of global centers to nine.
