Raw Linseed Oil
A excellent slow drying cold pressed natural raw oil
What is Raw Linseed Oil
Bio Oils’ Raw Linseed Oil is cold-pressed from linseed (Linum usitatissimum) grown in the Canterbury Plains. It is a slow drying natural base oil, unprocessed and without driers or thinners. The drying properties of linseed oil exhibit initially on the material as a liquid and then appear as rigid but not brittle on aged material. Linseed oil also has water-repelling (hydrophobic) properties.
Health Benefits
Helps wood retain its natural moisture content, aids water repellence and retards cracking, checking, and shrinking. Owing to its polymer-forming properties, linseed oil is often blended with other oils, resins or solvents for use:
- as an impregnator to restore, protect and enhance untreated timber
- drying oil finish or varnish in wood finishing,
- pigment binder in oil paints,
- plasticiser and hardener in putty
- in the manufacture of linoleum.
