A tung oil substitute for printing ink
Abstract
The oil from the fruit of Parinari anamense Hance, a tree indigenous of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, is a practical substitute for tung oil for making quality printing inks. In Thailand, the tree grows wild in the north‐eastern part of the country, where the ripened fruits that fall down dry to a hard nut. The nuts are collected by the natives and sold to the processing factory where the oil is extracted from the kernels by pressing.
