Öljypohjaisille

Öljypohjaisille is a Finnish term that translates to "oil-based" in English. It refers to substances, products, or materials that are derived from or contain oil as their primary component. This term can be applied to a wide range of items across various industries.

In the context of paints and coatings, oil-based paints use drying oils, such as linseed oil or tung oil, as a binder. These paints are known for their durability and rich finish, although they typically require mineral spirits or turpentine for cleanup. In contrast, water-based paints use water as the solvent.

In cosmetics and personal care, oil-based products often utilize vegetable oils, mineral oils, or petroleum-derived oils. These ingredients are chosen for their moisturizing, emollient, or cleansing properties. Examples include oil-based cleansers, lotions, and hair care products.

The term can also be used in industrial applications, such as lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and fuels, which are fundamentally derived from crude oil. In these contexts, "öljypohjaisille" emphasizes the origin and primary composition of the substance. The specific properties and applications of oil-based products vary greatly depending on the type of oil used and the intended purpose.
