SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 5, 2005


We've made it simple to identify our products.


During our 65 year history, we have acquired several companies around the world and retained their respective brand names. LAWTER™ Graphic Arts Technologies brand is the largest global raw material product offering in the graphic arts industry.

We're globally consolidating and simplifying our LAWTER product names, because the right name can make identification easy. A large number of products have been renamed with the goal of simplifying those product names and lines, as well as making it easier to determine what types of products we offer.

We've created two cross reference charts so that you can look at some of the product names that are changing. You can choose to view the cross reference charts either by the former product name or product type. Each chart will show you the former name, the new name, and the type of product it is. Please note: This is not a comprehensive product listing.

This global name consolidation represents a change in trade name only and in no way effects the formulas, production locations, production processes or specifications of these products. Please contact your Sales Center Representative if you need an updated Technical Data Sheet (TDS) or MSDS. Contact your Lawter Sales Representative if you need further information.
