Standoils are vegetable oils vacuum increased to very high temperatures. In function of time passing through the reactor the viscosity will be higher or lower.

Standoil linseed oil

from 1 to 600 poises at 20°C

Applications :
Reaction initiator in the production of alkyd resins
Additive in the production of offset inks
Binder for decorative paint and varnish
Additive for paint : used as wetting agent/dispersant

Advantages :
Improves gloss
Improves dispersion of pigments
Improves adhesion on different surfaces
Increases the hydrophobicity of the resin

Applications and advantages will vary following the viscosity of the standoil.

Standoil soy

from 2 to 90 poises at 20°C

Applications :
Reaction initiator in the production of alkyd resins
Additive for greases and lubricants

Advantages :
Improves dispersion of pigments
Improves adhesion on different surfaces
Increases de hydrophobicity of the resin
Often more economical

Standoil tung

from 10 to 90 poises at 20°C

Thanks to the very high level of α-eleostearic acid of tung oil (+/- 80%), the resulting standoil has an excellent reactivity.

Applications :
Binder for paints and natural varnishes
Raw material for navy blue paints

Advantages :
Increases hardness
Excellent reactivity

Standoil dehydrated castor oil

from 5 to 45 poises at 20°C

This standoil is produced from an FSG (first special grade) dehydrated castor oil.

Applications :
Binder for white paints

Advantages :
Very low yellowing

Standoil sunflower

from 30 to 300 poises at 20°C

Applications :
Binder for white paints
Limed oils

Advantages :
Very low yellowing

Standoil safflower

from 2 to 40 poises at 20°C

Applications :
Binder for white paints

Advantages :
Very low yellowing

Mixed standoil linseed/ tung

from 25 to 90 poises at 20°C

Applications :
Binder for paints and natural varnishes
Raw material for navy blue paints
Wood treatment

Advantages :
Best expresses all of the characteristics of each standoil, that is :

Increases hardness
Excellent reactivity
Provides good gloss
