Linseed Oil, Boiled

Name:
Linseed Oil, Boiled
Detailed information:
The term is a misnomer since the oil does not boil. Small amounts of driers (e.g., oxides of manganese, lead, or cobalt or their naphthenates, resinates, or linoleates) are added to hot linseed oil to accelerate drying. The “boiled oil” becomes thicker and darker.
