Product overview
|
- Linseed oil
Linseed oil is a prime ingredient for coatings and other applications that require excellent film forming properties. We offer both Crude (degummed and filtered), Supreme (alkali refined, bleached and dewaxed), and Reacted (DCPD modified, increased viscosity) linseed products.
- Soybean oil
Soybean oil has become the most widely used of all vegetable oils. Cargill supplies high quality refined soybean oil from refineries throughout the United States in both crude and refined versions.
- Canola oil
Our canola oil product line includes commodity, mid- and high-oleic canola oil.
- Sunflower oil
Cargill's technical sunflower oil is extracted from northern grown seed where growing conditions enhance the fatty acid composition of the oil, giving it better drying characteristics than soybean oil and improved color retention as compared to linseed oil. These qualities make sunflower oil a quality choice for alkyd resins, urethanes, and other applications. Cargill fully refines the oil and, if desired, removes natural waxes by chilling and filtration.
- Oxi-Cure® low VOC oils and coalescing agents
The Oxi-Cure® product line of esters is specially designed to help our paint and coatings customers achieve low VOC levels in their coating formulations. Products include coalescents and crosslinkers to provide superior film forming and reduced VOC.
- Agri-Pure® Gold™ vegetable oils
Agri-Pure® Gold™ vegetable oils are excellent carrier fluids in ink applications where low VOC and low cost are desired. Alkyd formulation from select oils has proven cost effective in a variety of ink and coating applications as a low cost alternative to Soybean oil.
