Terlon™ 613

Soybean oil alkyd. Can carry and print a higher load of pigment than bodied oils as well as conventional alkyds. Shows good color retention characteristics and hence is recommended for use in heat induced drying applications. 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. Improves adhesion, transfer and tack stability. Used in coldset systems, metal decorating inks, webfed heatset and varnish.
