Linseed oil drying oils, linseed oil exhibits fluorescence under UV light after degradation. Most applications of linseed oil exploit its drying properties, i.e., the initial material is liquid or at least pliable and the aged material is rigid but not brittle. The water-repelling (hydrophobic) nature of the resulting hydrocarbon-based material is advantageous. Linseed oil is a common carrier used in oil paint.
