  • Where does linseed oil come from?
  • Linseed oil, the largest volume drying oil, is obtained from flax, Linum usitatissimum. Flax is grown on different locations throughout the world in temperate zones located in the latitudes of roughly 30o to 60o nowadays. Nowadays the plant can be found on all continents: Argentina, Canada, Europe, India and the USA being major producers.
  • How is linseed oil extracted from flax seeds?
  • Extracting oil from flax seeds involves a series of steps in the production of linseed oil. Here is a general outline of the process: Harvesting: Flax plants are cultivated and nurtured until they reach full maturity. Subsequently, the plants are harvested, commonly by cutting the stalks in proximity to the ground.
  • In which regions is linseed grown?
  • The highest areas of linseed production (94%) in the world are in Asia, Europe, and America. These regions contribute 49.25%, 22.57%, and 22.42%, respectively, to the global linseed production. (Popovic et al., 2016).
  • What is raw linseed oil?
  • Raw Linseed Oil: Raw linseed oil, also known as cold-pressed or unrefined linseed oil, is extracted from flax seeds using a mechanical pressing method, without the application of heat. This minimal processing helps retain the natural properties of the oil.
  • How did China's linseed oil production perform in 2019?
  • China Linseed Oil Production rose 2.2% in 2019, compared to a year earlier. Since 2014 China Linseed Oil Production rose 3.3% year on year at 231,671 Metric Tons. In 2019 Germany was number 4 in Linseed Oil Production. In 2019 Iran was number 26 in Linseed Oil Production attaining 1,309 Metric Tons, compared to 37 in 2018.
  • What type of plant is linseed?
  • Linseed is primarily a warm temperate zone or subtropical plant, major producers being Argentina, the United States, Canada, Russia, and India. Both genetic and seasonal (temperature, rainfall) variations lead to a wide spread in possible IVs of different samples from 130 to 205, but 180–185 may be taken as typical. Dry seed contains 35–45% of oil.
