Abstract: Formulations containing certain unsaturated drying oils, e.g., linseed oil, are rendered flame retardant by dissolving in them certain halogenated compounds which are solids at room temperature and soluble in linseed oil or other suitable solvents which can be added to the linseed oil formulations with phosphate-containing compounds added to enhance flame retardance. The resulting flame retardant system is achieved without adversely affecting the finish, coloration, transparency, or appearance of the formulation, its resistance to light or heat, or its durability.
