Solid carbon filaments or rods produce light and heat when an electrical arc is passed between them. Carbon arc lamps require low-currents, but produce of brilliant, high intensity glow. They can simulate the spectrum of sunlight including the ultraviolet and infrared regions. Carbon arc lamps have been used for motion picture projectors. They are also used to produce intense heat for the cutting and welding of metals.

Stand oil

Description

A pale, thick, concentrated form of Linseed oil. Stand oil is prepared by anaerobically heating linseed oil to about 300C. This allows the oil to partially polymerize without any Oxidation occurring. Aneorobic conditions are obtained using a vacuum or Carbon dioxide atmosphere. Stand oil was likely developed by the Dutch in the 19th century. Stand oil dries more slowly and yellows less than untreated linseed oil. It forms a tough, flexible film that is resistant to weathering. Stand oils have been used in varnishes, glazes, and as a high viscosity additive to other paint media. Half oil is 50% stand oil and 50% turpentine.

Synonyms and Related Terms

Standöle (Deut.); standoil (It); olio standolizzato (It); half oil; standoil; polymerized oil; lithographic oil; English oil varnish;

Physical and Chemical Properties

  • Iodine number is lower than linseed oil.
  • Produces a greenish iridescent fluorescence.
