Linseed oil is just that, oil. Mineral spirits are alcohol based and would cause a different reaction if you used it in oil paints. The paint would break down or never dry.
Linseed oil is a natural oil derived from flax seeds, commonly used as a binder in oil-based paints and as a wood finish. Mineral spirits, on the other hand, is a petroleum-derived solvent used for thinning oil-based paints, cleaning paintbrushes, and degreasing surfaces. While linseed oil adds luster and acts as a drying agent in coatings, mineral spirits help in paint application, cleanup, and thinning.
The chemical formula for mineral spirits is typically C7H8.
Typically, what is referred to as paint thinner is mineral spirits. Mineral spirits are also called white spirits, and are made up of hydrocarbons that are left over from petroleum distillation. Other substances that are used as paint thinners include: Turpentine.
Mineral spirits are made through a process called distillation. This involves heating crude oil to separate it into different components, including mineral spirits. The crude oil is heated in a distillation tower, and the mineral spirits evaporate at a specific temperature and are then collected and refined further to remove impurities. This results in the production of mineral spirits, which are commonly used as a solvent in various industries.
No, chlorine and mineral spirits should not be mixed together. Combining chlorine with mineral spirits can produce toxic fumes and result in a hazardous chemical reaction. It is important to always follow proper safety precautions and chemical compatibility guidelines when working with different substances.
Mineral spirits are a type of solvent commonly used in painting and cleaning. They are derived from petroleum and are effective in thinning paint, cleaning brushes, and removing grease and grime. Mineral spirits are also used in industries such as automotive and manufacturing for degreasing and cleaning machinery.

Linseed oil is a traditional PRESERVATIVE and has been used for centuries for concrete, masonry, wood and metal. You would mix it 1 parts linseed to 2 parts turpentine (not mineral spirits), but the mixture would vary. You want to used boiled linseed oil, not raw linseed oil (check the label). Note this is not a SEALANT but a preservative- if you are doing your garage or basement floor, try something else! Also be careful- the tools and rags you use can spontaneously combust (i.e.: burst into flame, no kidding!) when being used with linseed oil. Check the Wikipedia page for details under "Linseed Oil"
