*Soybean oil must
be the predominant vegetable oil, with vegetable drying oils added as
needed, but not to exceed the level of soybean oil set out in the
respective formulation. Alcohol esters of soybean oil may be
substituted directly for soybean oil in news, sheet-fed, cold-set and
business forms inks to obtain the minimum concentration standard. The
minimum soybean oil concentration for heat-set inks increased to 15%
(by weight) when alcohol esters of soybean oil replace soybean oil in
this formulation. |
