Hexion™ Specialty Chemicals, Inc. is
the leading global supplier of quality
raw materials for the offset industry.
We provide offset ink manufacturers
with specialty and standard resins, alkyds,
varnishes, wax compounds and additives
for sheet fed and web offset printing.
In the past Hexion has acquired resin
and varnish businesses. Recently Hexion
successfully acquired the resins business
of Akzo Nobel and the wax compound
business of Rohm+Haas. Hexion
Specialty Chemicals Ink and Adhesive
Resins therefore combines the resin,
alkyd, varnish and wax compound
technologies from various companies.
Our main product groups
for offset are:
Phenolic modified rosin resins,
phenol-free rosin resins, modified
hydrocarbon resins, hybrid resins,
alkyd resins, resin solutions, varnishes,
specialties, micronized waxes, wax
compounds and ink and press additives
for the offset printing ink industry.
Research and development:
We work in close cooperation with our
customers to improve results and help
create value. History proves that this
collaboration achieves the required
results. We have a proud history of
having created innovative and successful
solutions to meet the exact requirements
in all industries served. Our total
organization is committed to supporting
our customers’ drive for success.
Combining our knowledge of resin,
alkyd, varnish and compound chemistry
and our customers’ expertise in their
field of excellence has been the impulse
for the creation of new resins, alkyds,
varnishes and compounds. Customized
products are being developed by
working under mutually confidential
conditions.
Renewable raw material sources:
A major part of our raw materials are
derived from renewable sources like
rosin tapped from pine trees and derived
via the pulp making process for the
paper industry. Hexion Ink and Adhesive
Resins is partially backward integrated
into different rosin sources. Natural
raw materials such as soybean oil
and linseed oil are also widely used.

Brief Description
of Test Methods
Viscosity
The viscosity of hard resins is measured
with a rotation viscometer using plate
and cone at 25°C. A solution of hard
resin is first made in mineral distillate
or linseed oil (as indicated) by using
the thermotronic (Novocontrol GmbH).
The viscosity of alkyds is measured
with a rotation viscometer using plate
and cone at 25°C.
Cloudpoint
The cloudpoint is measured in order
to obtain an indication of the solubility
of hard resins in varnishes based on
mineral distillate. The resin solution
is prepared using the chemotronic
(Novocontrol GmbH); the solution is
heated and stirred with a specific type
of mineral distillate until the pre-set
maximum temperature is reached.
The solution is allowed to cool and the
temperature at which clouding occurs
is recorded.
Acid value
Resin, alkyd and wax compound for offset The acid value is the number of milliliters
printing inks. of potassium hydroxide required to
neutralize 1 gram of alkyd resin. A
solution of the alkyd is prepared in a
mixture of xylene/ethanol (2:1). The value
is determined with 0.1 N KOH solution
The Offset Printing Process using phenolphthalein as indicator.
Fountain
Solution
Methanol value
Ink Rollers
Methanol compatibility is used to
indicate the polarity of our alkyd resins.
Plate The alkyd resins are first dissolved in
Cylinder
toluene and then titrated with anhydrous
Offset
Cylinder methanol until the solution becomes
just cloudy. The temperature during the
titration should be maintained at 20°C.
Printed Paper
Impression Tack
Cylinder
The tack of varnishes is measured with
an Inkometer at 90°F. The tack is read
after 1 minute at 400 rpms.
