Having a high content of di- and tri-unsaturated esters, linseed oil is particularly susceptible to polymerization reactions upon exposure to oxygen in the air. This polymerization, which is called drying, results in the rigidification of the material. The drying process can be so exothermic as to pose a fire hazard under certain circumstances. To prevent premature drying, linseed oil-based products (oil paints, putty) should be stored in air-tight containers.
Like some other drying oils, linseed oil exhibits fluorescence under UV light after degradation.

Both Turpentine oil and linseed oil are drier because they dry the paint faster.
