Linseed Oil Alkali Refined
Linseed Oil Alkali Refined is a vegetable oil extracted from flax seeds and then refined using alkali treatment to remove impurities, free fatty acids, and gums. This refining process enhances the oil’s stability, color, and odor, making it suitable for industrial, artistic, and manufacturing uses. It is a drying oil known for its excellent film-forming properties, quick drying time, and good adhesion to surfaces. Alkali refined linseed oil is widely used in paints, varnishes, inks, and as a raw material in chemical industries.
