Its low viscosity recommends its use as a nonvolatile solvent in oil-based paints since it will become incorporated in the dry paint rather than evaporating into the air.In its application as an epoxy oil, vernonia oil competes with soybean or linseed oil, which supply most of the market for these applications.
