Long Oil
Whatsapp Order
Long Oil refers to oils with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic and linolenic acids, commonly derived from drying oils such as linseed, soybean, or safflower oil. These oils have extended drying times and are used in various industrial applications where slow curing and flexible film formation are desired. Long oil is a key component in producing long oil alkyd resins, which are widely used in coatings, paints, varnishes, and printing inks due to their excellent adhesion, flexibility, and durability.
