Polymerization is a chemical reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form larger molecules. In simple terms, with regard to linseed oil, the oil turns from a liquid into a solid, similar to a clear hard plastic. Linseed oil polymerization starts to occur when the oil is exposed to air. With raw linseed oil, this reaction takes a long time to occur, usually 3-4 weeks or more depending on temperature and humidity. Chemical based linseed oil usually takes 24-48 hours. Natural Vintage Axe Oil takes only 8-18 hours and provides a superior polymerization.

Ring-spun cotton t-shirts are softer, more durable and last longer than their regular cotton counterparts, but cost more to manufacture. They cost more because processes for creating regular cotton and ring-spun cotton are totally different. Regular cotton is made from vegetable fibers that are twisted together to make yarn, which is then woven to make material and less expensive to make. Ring-spun cotton, on the other hand, is completely different. Ring-spun yarn is made by twisting and thinning the cotton strands to make a very fine, strong, soft rope of cotton fibers.
