Raw Linseed oil is heated and air is
blown to produce Double Boiled Linseed Oil. Heating the oil causes it to
polymerize and oxidize, effectively making it thicker and shortening its
drying time. It dries more completely and quickly and forms a film on the
surface. Double Boiled Linseed Oil is a dark amber coloured oil having a
distinctively sharp smell. This oil is mainly used indoors. It is very water
resistant, and also a rust inhibitor. It has a high viscosity when compared
to Raw Linseed oil.

Uses of Double Boiled Linseed Oil
In the Paint industry
Double Boiled Linseed Oil is used in the paint industry. The drying time is
much shorter than Raw Linseed Oil. It can be mixed with MTO or thinner. It
is also used in the maintenance of paint brushes.
In the construction industry
DBLO is used as a natural wood preservative and wood finish due to its
increased durability, quality of finish and resistance to surface damage. It
is used in the maintenance of wooden articles and tools, for interior and
exterior use on bare woods (other than oak), as an additive to glazing
putty, in concrete, in caulking compounds, earthen floors, adobe and
sealants, as an alternative to solvent-based products designed for sealing,
polishing, waxing, varnishing and finishing, in the manufacture of Linoleum,
in corrosion protection, in pigment pastes, for removing stains, as a sealer
for terracotta tiles and stone floors, in stone items, in chrome fittings,
flywire screens, in brick work, and preserving galvanised roofs.
In the sports goods industry
In the maintenance of sports equipment like Skis, Cricket bats, Baseball
bats, Hockey sticks, Archery equipment and Croquet Mallets.
Other Industrial uses
DBLO is used in foundries. It is used in industrial lubricants, sealants
and Printing ink resins, to maintain carvings, wooden boats, canoes, fishing
rods and Gun Stocks, etc..., by the fire department to treat the wood
handles of hand tools that have metal implements to prevent buildup of
static electricity, for the protection and preservation of farming tools and
equipment.
Safety Precautions
Always replace the lid otherwise the oil can deteriorate. Rags soaked in
DBLO may self-ignite. Soak them in water and dispose them off.
