A Summary of a Literature and Patent Search on Synthetic Drying Oils
Abstract
Tung oil has been so heavily depended upon in recent years that since our sources in the Orient have been cut off by the war, the need for a drying oil of such excellent properties has become critical. The amount of tung oil produced by domestic sources is ridiculously small and a synthetic oil must be produced from an available raw material before our stock of tung oil is exhausted. The literature and patent search which comprises this report was undertaken in order to obtain a fairly thorough knowledge of what work has been done toward developing a new and superior drying oil. Many of the processes described provide valuable methods for use in research in this field, and the materials obtained if not of value in themselves, in many cases afford a point from which to proceed toward a satisfactory end product.
