Used primarily in the formulation of coatings, inks, and resins due to its ability to undergo oxidative crosslinking, forming durable and flexible films. Common in alkyd resins for paints, where it contributes to quick drying and improved flow properties. Also utilized in wood finishes and varnishes for enhanced water resistance and gloss. In industrial applications, serves as a renewable raw material in the production of bio-based plasticizers and lubricants. Additionally, found in some cosmetic products as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent, leveraging its natural origin and biodegradability.
