Lawter, a global leader in resin technology, offers an extensive portfolio of high-quality alkyd resins designed specifically for the graphic arts and industrial coatings industries. These resins serve as the backbone for lithographic, letterpress, and overprint varnish formulations, providing exceptional pigment wetting, fast setting, and outstanding printability.
PT Jaya Warindo Abadi is proud to distribute Lawter's advanced alkyd resin technologies across Indonesia, enabling formulators to create premium printing inks, metal decorating coatings, and industrial finishes with superior performance and consistency.
Lawter alkyd resins offer formulators a unique combination of properties that are essential for high-quality printing inks and industrial coatings:
- Superior Pigment Wetting & Dispersion: Lawter alkyds are engineered to develop maximum color strength and cleanliness, producing vibrant, consistent colors in both grinding and flushing processes.
- Excellent Lithographic Performance: These resins provide outstanding flow characteristics and stable rheology under high-shear printing conditions, resulting in cleaner prints, reduced misting, and improved press stability.
- Fast Setting & Drying: Many Lawter alkyd resins are formulated to exhibit good setting behavior, faster drying times, and lower odor, enhancing productivity and print quality.
- Specialized Oil Bases: Available in various oil types including linseed oil, sunflower oil, and soya bean oil, allowing formulators to tailor properties such as yellowing resistance, flexibility, and hardness.
- Exceptional Heat Resistance for Metal Decorating: Select grades offer excellent baking properties with outstanding color retention at temperatures up to 188°C, making them ideal for metal can decorating applications.
