Usage

Uses

Used in Wood Finishing Industry:
Linseed oil is used as an impregnator and varnish for wood finishing, thanks to its drying oil property that allows it to oxidize into a solid form. This helps protect and enhance the appearance of wooden surfaces.
Used in Art Industry:
As a pigment binder in oil paints, linseed oil plays a crucial role in the art industry, ensuring the longevity and quality of painted artworks.
Used in Construction Industry:
Linseed oil is used as a plasticizer and hardener in putty, contributing to the durability and flexibility of construction materials.
Used in Manufacturing Industry:
In the production of linoleum, linseed oil is utilized for its ability to blend with other oils, resins, and solvents, creating a versatile and sustainable flooring material.
Used in Furniture and Timber Products Industry:
Linseed oil is widely used for the finishing and refinishing of furniture and timber products, providing a protective and aesthetically pleasing coating that enhances the longevity and appeal of these items.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

LINSEED OIL react with acids to liberate heat. Heat is also generated by interaction with caustic solutions. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing with alkali metals and hydrides. React with oxygen in the air to harden. Can react with air fast enough to cause ignition of near-by combustible material if the heat builds up in an unventilated space (called "spontaneous combustion" in oily rags).

Health Hazard

Contact of liquid with eyes causes mild irritation. Prolonged contact with skin can cause dermatitis. Ingestion of large doses (over 1 oz) has laxative effect.

Fire Hazard

Linseed oil is flammable. If used and stored correctly, there is very little risk of linseed oil spontaneously combusting. However, the fire hazard increases under certain circumstances. Be very careful with rags that have been used to apply linseed oil. In many cases of spontaneous combustion of drying oils the cause has been a pile of oil soaked rags. As the oil oxidizes it generates heat. The rags act as an insulator, allowing the heat to build up until the cloth smokes and eventually ignites. The bigger the pile, the greater the possible heat and the greater the risk. Used rags should be stored in a metal can with a top and soaked with water to limit the risk of fire since the drying process is exothermic.

Safety

Linseed oil is non-toxic and completely food-safe. It is often given as a health supplement in both people and animals, including dogs, horses, and more.
