How is boiled linseed oil made?
The boiled linseed oil production process begins with the pressing of linseed to extract the raw linseed oil. This raw oil is then heated and treated with drying agents, such as lead or manganese compounds, to accelerate the oxidation process. This boiling and treating causes the oil to dry faster when applied to surfaces. The result is an oil that not only dries faster, but also provides a harder, more durable finish. This method makes boiled linseed oil an efficient and effective choice for a variety of applications.
The function of boiled linseed oil
Boiled linseed oil works by penetrating deep into the surface it is applied to, such as wood or stone, and then forms a protective layer that shields the material from moisture and dirt. Due to its deep penetrating ability, it helps to nourish wood and protect it from cracking and warping. When used in paint, boiled linseed oil acts as a binding agent that helps to evenly distribute the pigments and create a smooth, durable finish. This versatility makes it a valuable addition to any surface treatment and protection toolkit.
Boiled linseed oil in various branches
The applications of boiled linseed oil are numerous and varied, making it an essential product in the technical industry. Here it is used as a lubricant and corrosion protection agent for metal parts and machinery. Thanks to its excellent lubricating properties and ability to protect metal surfaces from rust, boiled linseed oil is a reliable choice for technical applications.
