REFINED LINSEEDOIL
Refined linseedoil is a purified raw linseedoil that has been heat-stabilised for the further thermal processing during the production of resins, varnishes, standoil or other binders. Scaldis operates a ‘De Smet’ continuous physical refinery where the oil is refined in 3 stages:
Ø Degumming by centrifugal separation
Ø Bleaching by contact with bleaching earth
Ø Neutralisation by distillation
You may want to use our refined linseedoil in any further process where you need to polymerise or co-polymerise a vegetable drying oil into a varnish or resin as a vehicle for your coating. Current fields of application where refined linseedoil has proven to be a valuable building block:
● Printing inks: as a binder in sheet-fed offset inks, in oleoresinous printing ink varnishes, as an additive in heatset and coldest printing inks
● Alkyd resins: long and medium oil resins, excellent drying and pigment wetting properties
● Paints and varnishes: owing to its low viscosity it is an ideal starting material for enamels, varnishes, hard gloss paints or similar products and it may also be used as a diluent replacing a part of the solvents
● Epoxidised / Maleinised Linseedoil: Linseedoil vehicles with increased reactivity
