Flaxseed Oil · Manufacturing enquiries
Technical Linseed Oil
Zenith Eclipse manufactures linseed oil for agreed industrial applications. Specify raw, refined or further-processed material in the enquiry: a technical oil designation does not imply edible quality, and different processing states are not interchangeable.
Quality parameters
Specifications and buying requirements
Illustrative RFQ targets and purchasing requirements, subject to production or supply confirmation and buyer approval. These are not a stock COA or a universal grade. Specify the reporting basis, sampling and test method; the accepted offer defines the final quality and delivery limits. Illustrative RFQ for an unmodified technical linseed oil. Polymerized, bodied or drier-containing products require separate specifications and confirmation of manufacturing availability. This is not a food-grade offer.
| Parameter | Indicative RFQ target |
|---|---|
| Processing state | Name raw or refined oil; separately declare any chemical modification |
| Iodine value | Example: 170–205 g iodine/100 g oil, subject to the agreed test method |
| Acid value | Example: maximum 4.0 mg KOH/g oil for the selected unmodified grade |
| Water | Example: maximum 0.10% by mass; specify water-specific method |
| Viscosity | Buyer-defined range in mPa·s at a stated temperature; identify method |
| Colour | Agree Gardner or another named scale and maximum value |
| Driers and other additives | Declare all additions; no drier-containing or boiled grade assumed |
| Drying performance | Approve through the buyer's coating or resin trial and defined film test |
| Industrial release documents | Lot COA, current product SDS and agreed end-use declaration |
Applications
Common uses
For coating, varnish and resin formulations where linseed oil's drying behaviour is part of the design. Performance depends on the selected oil state and the complete formulation. Buying detail: Include the formulation process, colour tolerance, viscosity test temperature and any restrictions on metal driers. Assess a sample in the actual application; an iodine value alone does not establish drying time or finished-film performance.
Export planning
Shipping & logistics
Compatible industrial tanks, drums or IBCs can be reviewed for export, segregated from edible-oil consignments. Packing, transport classification and handling documents follow the actual product SDS, additives and route. Appropriate sea movements may be quoted FOB, CFR or CIF with a named port and agreed Incoterms edition.
