Product Description:
Refined linseed oil is a light yellow, nearly odorless oil derived from flax seeds, prized for its drying properties and use in various applications. It’s a key ingredient in paints, inks, alkyd resins, and wood finishes, known for forming durable, glossy films. Refining removes impurities, enhancing its suitability for specific industrial uses.
Benefits:
- Composition: Refined linseed oil is a triglyceride with a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linolenic acid, which contributes to its drying
- Drying Properties: It’s a drying oil, meaning it hardens into a solid film when exposed to air. This process is accelerated by the use of siccatives (drying agents).
Properties:
- Paints and Inks: Used as a binder for pigments, creating paints and inks with good color and gloss retention.
- Alkyd Resins: A key component in the production of alkyd resins, which are widely used in coatings.
- Wood Finishing: Employed in varnishes and drying oil finishes for wood, providing protection and enhancing appearance.
- Technical Formulations: Used in various technical applications where a drying oil with specific properties is needed.
