Drying oil "Oksol": features and specifications

It is also very often used for processing any wooden surfaces, for impregnating plastered work areas, and even for fixing small crevices. This universal impregnating agent surprisingly combines many useful functions, which ensures its high demand.

Oksol linseed oil is particularly popular, the features and technical characteristics of which will be discussed below.

Drying oil "Oksol" is a special impregnating mixture for processing wooden and plastered surfaces before further painting.It protects wood and plaster from rotting and damage by bacteria. It can also be used for the dilution of oil paints. "Oksol" refers to the category of semi-natural formulations.

More than 55% of the composition of the mass - vegetable oils, another 40% - the solvent, and the remaining 5% are desiccants, which contribute to thickening and rapid absorption of linseed oil into the tree.

As a solvent, the manufacturer can be used:

• "White Spirit";
• synthetic analogues of vegetable oils;
• pyroplast or pyrolene;
• turpentine gum;
• nefras C4.

Drying agents are auxiliary components that are responsible not only for good absorbency of the linseed oil, but also for its rapid hardening. Fused, oily or fatty acid resynants can be used as them.

The volume and type of used solvents and dryers are regulated by special state standards, developed for each type of additives separately.

Like other finishing and protective solutions, linseed oil "Oksol" has its own unique technical parameters.

At present, the production of the Oksol drying oil is regulated by such a document as GOST 190 78.This legal act regulates the composition of these products, the conditions and place of use, as well as other parameters.

According to him the linseed "Oksol" can be natural, belonging to category B. In this case, its composition is mostly occupied by natural linseed or hemp oil. The main components of such solutions - vegetable oils - in everyday life is allowed to be eaten in its pure form.

Combined "Oksol" refers to the category of PV, most of its composition is corn or rapeseed oil. But the main difference is that they belong to semi-natural components, they contain synthetic additives in advance, that is, such oils are technical and cannot be used as food.

In addition, the guest stated that the drying oil should have the following qualities:

• full transparency;
• pronounced smell;
• maximum drying time - 3 hours;
• acidity - 6-8 units;
• viscosity - 18-25 units;
• flash point in a closed crucible - exactly 32 degrees.

The implementation and transportation of drying oil can be carried out in a container of special plastic or iron barrels made of permissible metal alloys. If the product does not meet at least one technological condition, it should not be allowed for sale, as it does not meet the requirements of GOST.

The consumption of this tool is calculated based on the amount of substance spent per 1 m2 of surface.

Approximate consumption is:

• Drying oils of category B - 80-120 g / m2;
• Oksoli PV - 100-150 g / m2.

These consumption rates are approximate and may vary depending on the type of surface being treated and the number of layers applied to it. For each subsequent layer consumes a smaller amount of the composition.

Today “Oksol” linseed oil is used in a number of cases:

• She can paint wooden structures inside and outside facades. In these cases, the solution prolongs the service life of the wood, reduces the level of the negative impact on it of temperature changes and pathogenic fungi.
• For processing plastered facades before further painting. In this case, Oksol helps to reduce paint consumption during final finishing, and also partially levels the working surface and protects it.
• For dilution of oil based paints. This allows you to increase the amount of paint, dilute the thickened substance, without violating its technical qualities, as well as use the resulting mixture as an impregnation and final solution at the same time.

It turns out that the use of Oksol drying oil is allowed for the treatment of wooden structures inside and outside the premises, as well as for the impregnation of plastered walls. In this case, it is absolutely impossible to use this solution for painting and impregnating floors.
