Worlée introduces the sustainable benefits of Camelina Oil in alkyld resins
Camelina Oil a is an alternative raw material to linseed oil. Linseed oil has been used for centuries to protect wood. It provides a water-repellent surface that is open to vapour diffusion, penetrates deep into the wood and can also be used outdoors due to its high elasticity. Although Linseed oil already uses a high proportion of renewable raw materials, it still has to be largely imported, so that consideration of various sustainability aspects reveals possibilities for improvement.
