Global Linseed Oil Market to be Driven by Rising Demand in Paints and Coatings Industry

The global market for linseed oil is the focus of study of a detailed market research report by Transparency Market Research. The report presents an expansive overview of the market and presents detailed data pertaining to crucial market elements and their state in the past and present times.

The report is titled “Linseed Oil Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 – 2020.”

The report states that the global linseed oil market is driven primarily by its large-scale use as a varnish for the treatment of wooden products. As linseed oil is absorbed by wooden surfaces, it does not form a solid film coating and also provides the surface a shining appearance without making it look glossy. Owing to the low cost and easy availability of linseed oil, it is the most commonly used oil for wood treatment.

Linseed oil also finds several applications in the paints and coatings industry, where it is used as a pigment binder and drying agent, in the wooden #architecture# industry, where it is used as an impregnator and varnish, and for the manufacture of linoleum. For these purposes, linseed oil is mixed or blended with other oils, resins, and solvents. Linseed oil is also extensively used as a binding agent for surface coatings in hard boards.

The use of linseed oil in putty is another major application area of the global linseed market. Linseed oil is added to chalk powder paste for use in installing glass panes in windows. The putty, which dries in a few weeks, can be coated or painted over.

Linseed oil also finds application in the pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing certain medicines and ointments. It is also used as a food supplement and is believed to have anti-cancer qualities.
