Terlon™ 605 A

Soybean oil alkyd. Offers good pigment wetting and excellent non-yellowing properties. Improves the adhesion, transfer and tack stability. Shows good color retention characteristics and hence is recommended for use in heat induced drying applications. Can carry and print a higher load of pigment than bodied oils and conventional alkyds. Dries by oxidation to form a flexible film. While drying times are slower than pure linseed oil based alkyds, initial odor and color development during oxidation are markedly reduced. Offers a very effective cost/quality ratio. Used in coldset systems, metal decorating inks, web heatset and varnish.
