Description

Herring Oil, Oxidized & Polymerized is a specialized, high-molecular-weight derivative of marine oil, produced through controlled oxidation and polymerization processes. This modification significantly enhances its film-forming, drying, and binding properties, making it a valuable renewable raw material for demanding industrial formulations. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the coatings, ink, and lubricant industries seeking bio-based performance additives. The product is identified by CAS No. 68082-77-9.

Application

• Industrial Coatings & Paints: Acts as a bio-based resin modifier and plasticizer, improving film flexibility, adhesion, and drying time in alkyd paints, varnishes, and protective coatings.
• Printing Inks: Used as a vehicle and binder in specialty printing inks, contributing to gloss, rub resistance, and controlled viscosity.
• Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a tackifier and thickening agent in biodegradable lubricating greases and metalworking fluids.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Functions as a tackifying resin and plasticizer in pressure-sensitive and hot-melt adhesive formulations.
• Leather & Textile Processing: Employed as a fatliquoring agent and softener to impart pliability and water resistance to leather and textiles.
• Rubber & Polymer Compounding: Used as a processing aid and secondary plasticizer to improve the workability and properties of rubber compounds.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance in your application. Key parameters monitored include acid value, viscosity, iodine value, and color. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with agreed-upon standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its nature, prolonged exposure to air should be minimized to prevent further oxidation.
