Abstract and Summary

The viscosities of raw linseed oil, boiled linseed oil, and combinations of raw or boiled linseed oil with mineral spirits were measured as a function of temperature. In general, the viscosity data for these solutions were found to follow the equation n=BeE/RT, where n is viscosity, B is a constant, E is the activation energy of flow, and T is absolute temperature. The viscosity values interpolated from the regression equations at 25 C, 40 C, and 60 C were analyzed as a function of percent mineral spirits for raw and boiled linseed oils. The results suggest that linseed oilmineral spirits mixtures behave as ideal solutions.
