Oxidative stability and the chemical composition

  • Is linseed oil cold pressed?
  • In cleaning out our varnishing closet, I came across two bottles of linseed oil from Kremer Pigmente. One is their Linseed Oil, refined 73300, and the other is Linseed Oil, Cold-pressed 73020. I am wondering what, in a practical sense, the difference might be. The cold-pressed, apart from advertising that it is "from Sweden" is low acidity.
  • Can linseed oil be washed?
  • Refined linseed oil is done by the addition of alkalis, if I am not too wrong. The cold pressed oil from Kremer has sometimes, a little mucilage on it, but I don;t find that a big problem, can easily be washed away. Refined linseed oil is done by the addition of alkalis, if I am not too wrong.
  • Does linseed oil dry faster?
  • Linseed oil from a northern climate like in Sweden is said to have a larger percent unsaturated bonds, so it will dry faster and probably better. (Someone else here will know the chemistry better than me.)
  • Why is linseed oil yellowing?
  • the water being polar – separates the oil from its water soluble fatty acids. The predominant one of these in linseed oil is linolenic acid, Omega 3. This component has also been proven to be a major potential cause of yellowing.
