Our others products

Cooked oils

Baked oils are exclusively pre-oxidised linseed oils with added cocktails of driers. This oxygen-catalyst combination makes the baked linseed oil more reactive. Depending on the application and the target markets, baked linseed oils can be diluted with petroleum solvents.

The range of baked linseed oil is mainly based on 3 parameters: colour, acid number and drying time :

  • Baked linseed oil
  • Light baked linseed oil
  • Double-cooked linseed oil
  • Cooked linseed oil – high viscosity

The main applications are :

  • treatment and preservation of wood
  • production of primers and putties
  • water-proofing of concrete and stone (tommette)
  • anti-corrosion protection on steel

Oxidised blown oils

Oxidised oils, known as « blown oils », are obtained by incorporating oxygen at moderate temperatures.

Oxidised linseed oil

Applications :

  • Moulding agent for foundries

Oxidised soybean oil

Applications :

  • Mastics and gaskets

Oxidised rapeseed oil

Applications :

  • Lubricants for chain oil / cutting oil / greases

Advantages :

  • High temperature resistance
  • Good shear behaviour

Oxidised castor oil

Applications :

  • Greases and lubricants
  • Adhesives
  • Coatings
  • Plasticizers for inks and surface coatings (phthalate replacement)

Advantages :

  • Remains fluid at low temperatures
  • Good shear behaviour

Dehydrated castor oil 

Dehydration makes castor oil FSG semi-dry by forming conjugated double bonds.

Applications :

  • Raw material for alkyd, epoxy and acrylic resins

Advantages :

  • Good reactivity
  • Low yellowing
  • Good mechanical resistance

Maleinized oils

  • Maleinized linseed oil
  • Soybean oil, maleinised

  • Emulsifiable soybean oil
  • Emulsifiable rapeseed oil

Reactive thinners

This product, from the VEOLISOL range, is the result of our know-how in terms of developing tailor-made products for our customers.

It combines the characteristic performances of several vegetable oils and thus makes it possible to obtain a product which is very easy to use or to apply (because of its solvent power) while having a drying time of only a few hours.

Reactive thinners are very popular in the wood treatment and protection industry.

Solvents of vegetable origin

Made from vegetable oil methyl esters (VOME) such as flax, soya, rapeseed or palm – these esters retain the same fatty acid profile as the original oils but have a viscosity up to ten times lower.

Bio-based vegetable emulsion alkyd resins

The VEOMUL range is the result of the combination of Vandeputte’s oleochemicals, soap and detergents divisions and the use of new renewable raw materials to replace traditional petro-sourced substances.

The range is available according to performance, field of application and bio-sourced carbon content.

  • VEOMUL VT-098: vegetable alkyd in emulsion: 98% bio-sourced
  • VEOMUL VS-097: vegetable alkyd in emulsion: 97% bio-sourced

Other vegetable oils

China wood oil / Tung oil

Chinese wood oil or tung oil is obtained by mechanically pressing the dried and crushed nuts of the Aleurites Fordii tree. These nuts contain nearly 50% of a crude oil composed of more than 70% α-eleostearic acid, a fatty acid with 3 conjugated double bonds that makes the oil highly reactive.

Applications :

  • Wood preservation and protection
  • Alkyd resins
  • Marine paints

Advantages :

  • Excellent hydrophobicity
  • Good saturation of the wood
  • Good elasticity
  • Excellent reactivity
  • Good hardness
  • Good mechanical strength.

Castor oil

Castor oil N°1 or FSG (First Special Grade) is obtained from the seeds of Ricinus communis. From these seeds is extracted an oil composed of more than 90% ricinoleic acid characterised by its hydroxyl function (-OH). This function gives it specific properties used in many fields of application.

Applications :

  • Lubricants
  • Raw materials for polyurethane resins
  • Cosmetics
  • Raw materials for polyamides
  • Plasticizers

Advantages :

  • Good solubility in alcohol
  • High viscosity (+/- 10 poise at 20°C)

Safflower oil

Safflower oil is extracted from the seeds of the dyer’s thistle (Carthamus tinctorius). From these seeds an oil is extracted which consists of more than 70% linoleic acids (CLA) characterised by two conjugated double bonds. This fatty acid gives the oil a very high reactivity.

Applications :

  • White paints
  • Varnishes
  • Cosmetics

Advantages :

  • Low yellowing
