Linseed oil CAS#8001-26-1
Also known as flaxseed oil, linseed oil is golden yellow, amber, or brown drying oil with a peculiar odor and bland taste. Iodine value 177, saponification value 189-195, acid number(max.) 4 (ASTMD 234-48), polymerizes on exposure to air. Soluble in ether, chloroform, carbon disulfide, and turpentine; slightly soluble in alcohol, spontaneous heating. Combustible. Chief constituents are glycerides of linolenic, oleic, linoleic, and saturated fatty acids. The drying property is due to the linoleic and linolenic groups. Derivation is from seeds of the flax plant Linum usitatissimum by expression or solvent extraction. Various refining and bleaching methods are used. The grades of linseed oil are raw; boiled, double-boiled, blown, varnish makers' and refilled.

Product Application of Linseed oil CAS#8001-26-1
The botanical properties of linseed oil are listed as emollient, antiinflammatory, and healing. Derived from the flax plant seed, the oil is obtained by expression with little or no heat. Linseed oil is a drying oil, meaning it can oxidise into a solid form. Due to this property, linseed oil is used on its own or blended with other oils, resins, and solvents as an impregnator and varnish in wood finishing, as a pigment binder in oil paints, as a plasticizer and hardener in putty, and in the manufacture of linoleum. Linseed oil is still widely used for the finishing and refinishing of furniture and timber products.
