Terlon™ 3010 A is a linseed-based alkyd. Terlon 3010 A is known for its excellent pigment wetting ability and fast hard-drying properties. Terlon 3010 A alkyd is an essential ingredient in many oilbased printing inks. This alkyd’s ability to develop and maintain color strength with minimal bronzing and to provide flow and leveling where required make Terlon 3010 A an important formulating tool. Terlon 3010 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.

Terlon™ 613 A is a soybean oil alkyd. It can carry and print a higher load of pigment than bodied oils and conventional alkyds. Terlon 613 A shows good color retention characteristics and hence is recommended for use in heat induced drying applications. Terlon 613 A dries by oxidation and forms a flexible film. While drying times are slower than pure linseed oil based alkyds, initial odor and odor development during oxidation are markedly reduced. Terlon 613 A offers a very effective cost/quality ratio.

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.

When printed on coated paper, a Trionol™ 3 A based ink partially penetrates and oxidizes, providing a tough anchor. The remainder of the Trionol 3 A remains on the surface as a film-forming coating that rapidly hardens to a tough, rub-resistant print. Trionol 3 A, with exceptionally good pigment wetting properties, can improve gloss, setting speed and rub resistance, in contrast with many pigment-wetting vehicles that detract from gloss and setting speed. The use of driers, resinates or reactive metals on pigment surfaces will gel Trionol 3 A. The increase in viscosity caused by the use of metallic driers can be modified by the addition of one-fourth the drier weight of an anti-skinning agent. The viscosity of Trionol 3 A is stable in finished inks. Trionol 3 A can replace drying oils in quickset and heatset vehicles to improve compatibility, solvent tolerance, pigment wetting, and rub resistance without sacrificing setting speed.

Terlon™ 607 A is a soybean oil alkyd. It can carry and print a higher load of pigment than bodied oils and conventional alkyds. Terlon 607 A shows good color retention characteristics and hence is recommended for use in heat induced drying applications. Terlon 607 A dries by oxidation and forms a flexible film. While drying times are slower than pure linseed oil based alkyds, initial odor and color development during oxidation are markedly reduced. Terlon 607 A offers a very effective cost/quality ratio.

TerlonTM 605 A is a soybean oil alkyd. It can carry and print a higher load of pigment than bodied oils and conventional alkyds. Terlon 605 A shows good color retention characteristics and hence is recommended for use in heat induced drying applications. Terlon 605 A dries by oxidation and forms a flexible film. While drying times are slower than pure linseed oil based alkyds, initial odor and odor development during oxidation are markedly reduced. Terlon 605 A offers a very effective cost/quality ratio.
