Historically, Perilla Seed Oil has been recognized for its capabilities as a drying oil. Similar to linseed oil and tung oil, it contains unsaturated fatty acids that, when exposed to air, undergo polymerization to form a hard, protective film. This characteristic makes it highly suitable for use in the coatings industry.

One of the significant industrial uses of Perilla Seed Oil has been in the manufacturing of paints and varnishes. Its ability to dry relatively quickly and form a durable film that is harder than linseed oil makes it an attractive component for protective coatings. It has been incorporated into varnishes, lacquers, and printing inks, providing enhanced durability and finish. The paint and varnish industry, in particular, has historically accounted for a large portion of its usage.

The properties of Perilla Seed Oil as a drying oil were once so valued that it was imported in bulk as a substitute for linseed oil. Its application extended to linoleum production and even to creating durable earthen floors in earlier times. In Japan, it served as a fuel for oil lamps until the 16th century, demonstrating its broad utility before other resources became more dominant.

While perhaps less common today in mainstream industrial applications compared to modern synthetic alternatives, the inherent qualities of Perilla Seed Oil as a natural drying oil remain significant. For manufacturers seeking bio-based and sustainable ingredients, Perilla Seed Oil presents an interesting option for formulations where these characteristics are paramount. Understanding its historical significance and chemical properties is key to appreciating its full potential.
