Terlon™ 1147 A is a Lawter™ linseed alkyd. Terlon 1147 A alkyd is known for its excellent pigment wetting ability and fast hard-drying properties. Terlon 1147 A alkyd is an essential ingredient in many oil-based printing inks. This alkyd’s ability to develop and maintain color strength with minimal bronzing and provide flow and leveling where required make Terlon 1147 A an important formulating tool. Terlon 1147 A is very compatible with most ink vehicles and serves to stabilize ink formulations that do not hold up on long runs. Metal decorating inks based on this alkyd bake very fast and form hard abrasion-resistant, glossy surfaces.

Trionol™ 1739 A is a Lawter™ specialty alkyd. Trionol 1739 A is a medium oil-length soya oil alkyd that forms hard, tough ink films with low odor. It has better compatibility with hard resins than Terlon 7 A and is recommended for low odor inks used on napkins, food cartons, etc. Trionol 1739 A is an excellent replacement for linseed alkyds in heatset inks whenever it is cost effective to do so. Trionol 1739 A is recommended for three-piece flat metal decorating lithography. It has good baking properties on metal with good color retention at oven temperatures up to 370°F. Faster baking can be achieved by adding up to 10% melamine to finished inks based in Trionol 1739 A. Trionol 1739 A avoids the gloss ghosting or yellow ghosting that sometimes occurs in sheetfed inks.
