Discover 5 technical advantages of using THYON™

THYON™ developed by Diransa, are solid acrylic resins which offer a next-generation solution that preserves the speed and brilliance of solvent-based inks while eliminating the drawbacks of nitrocellulose.

Below, we highlight some of its technical and operational advantages:

1. Fast Drying at High Solids
Because THYON acrylic resins have low intrinsic viscosity, they allow high-solids inks that still flow and level properly. Production tests have demonstrated printing speeds above 500 m/min, roughly double those of standard polyamide inks.

2. Broad Solvent Latitude
Their wide solubility window simplifies inventory management—one resin grade can cover multiple ink systems simply by adjusting the alcohol/ester ratio.

3. Optical Clarity and Gloss
Acrylic chemistry inherently enhances light reflection and transparency, giving THYON inks a distinct visual brilliance compared to the slightly hazy films formed by NC.

4. Long Shelf Life
As a non-nitrated polymer, THYON is chemically stable. It does not release nitrites or form nitrosamines, eliminating discoloration and odor problems during storage.

5. Safe Handling and Transport
Supplied as a dry solid flake, THYON poses no explosion risk and requires no damp storage or special fireproof facilities. It dissolves readily at room temperature with no heating needed, reducing both energy use and workplace hazard.
