Safflower oil

Summary

A brief account is given of experiments with safflower oil in Australia. Under practical conditions, the drying power of safflower oil equals that of linseed oil. The non-yellowing properties of the former render it superior to the latter as a vehicle in coatings for interior decoration and in stoving enamels. In the heat polymerization of safflower oil, temperatures 10° to 15°C. higher than those normally employed for linseed oil are recommended. During three years of outdoor exposure trials, paints based on safflower oil have performed at least as well as similar paints from linseed oil. The commercial production of the oil by solvent extraction presents no difficulty. Decortication prior to extraction is not necessary. The resulting oil has a very good colour and is free from “foots.” On alkali refining, losses are very small. Notwithstanding the high hull content of the meal, it has proved valuable as a stock fodder.
