Excerpt from A Summary of Current Program, 7/1/64 and Preliminary Report of Progress for 7/1/63 to 6/30/64: Northern Utilization Research and Development Division of the Agricultural Research Service, United Sates Department of Agriculture, and Related Work of the State Agricultural Experiment Stations
Linseed oil for curing concrete. Based on results of cooperative work of the Department with the National Flaxseed Processors Association, linseed oil is finding a constantly increasing use for protecting cured concrete against freeze-thaw deterioration. Currently, research by Department scientists has shown that linseed oil emulsions have considerable promise for spray-type compounds to prevent moisture losses in the curing of concrete. In order to develop Optimum strength properties, freshly laid concrete must be protected while curing against loss of water through surface evaporation. Presently this protection is Obtained by solid coverings such as polyethylene sheeting or by spraying on an impervious surface coating. Research now underway indicates that the linseed oil applied to freshly laid concrete to aid in curing also acts as a freeze thaw protective agent, thus giving a dual benefit from its use. The linseed oil is applied as a water emulsion using conventional road - spraying equipment. This development has a potentiality for a new multimillion pound market for linseed oil.
