Vernolic acid since it will become incorporated in the dry paint rather than evaporating into the air." This use of vernonia oil offers potential environmental benefits, since its use could reduce emissions associated with man-made chemicals. In its application as an epoxy oil, vernonia oil competes with soybean or linseed oil, which supply most of the market for these applications.

Vernolic acid is not commonly found in plants in significant quantities, but some plants which do contain
