in its supply, raising the price accordingly, have opened
for refined Bean Oil a chance to be used mixedly in a
hardened-or a liquid-form.
(4) SUBSTITUTE FOR BUTTER
The indispensability of butter in the West goes without
saying. However, the increase of milk supply can not
keep pace with its rapidly enlarged demand, causing the
price to go up. Accordingly, the manufacture of oleomargarine
has become more extensive, and Bean Oil is in
request as one of the materials. Oleomargarine is made
from snimal or vegetable-solid fat mixed in a suitable
quantity with a liquid oil like peanut oil or Bean Oil.
Hydrogenated Bean Oil is finding a fair demand as
a solid fat.
(6) As Pant SoLveNT
As solvent for paint, varnish, and linoleum, ete., linseed
oil, a drying oil, has been in the widest request, followed
with castor oil, paulownia oil, ete., possessed of a strong
drying property.
Lately, a semi-drying oil like Bean Oil possessing a
high iodine value, if mixed with manganese borate, manganese
resinate or cobalt resinate, all drying agents, to make
a boiled oil, is found fo acquire a drying property in a
remarkable degree, good for a substitute as a paint solvent.
