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 with-
out 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 oleomar-
garine 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., linse-
ed 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, mangan-
ese 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.
