Binders and Diluents
Refined Linseed Oil
Since there is so little industrial demand for cold-pressed oil and since it is not economical to produce, one usually finds in its stead steam-pressed oils, which have been refined, bleached, and treated with chemical agents to a point [p. 33] where they have many of the characteristics (acid number and iodine number) of the cold-pressed oil. These are the oils usually employed for color grinding. [pp. 33-34]
