Soybean-Based Alkyd Polyester
TERLON™ 803 A is a Lawter™ soybean alkyd. The TERLON™ 800 linear polyester series is based on specially processed soybean oil. As a result, the TERLON™ 800 series alkyds dry faster and form tough, color stable films. TERLON™ 803 A can carry and print a larger load of pigment than bodied oils and conventional alkyds. TERLON™ 803 A shows equivalent color development to other drying oil modified linear polyesters and is recommended for use in heat drying applications.
TERLON™ 803 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™ 803 A offers a very effective price/quality ratio.
