The thermal polymerization reaction kinetics of anchovy oil was investigated with and without catalyst. In order to make a comparison, linseed oil was included in the study. Reactions were carried out 260, 270, and 280°C, and a kinetic model was determined for each case. The reactions for linseed oil with and without catalyst at all temperatures followed the first‐order kinetics. In the case of anchovy oil, the best‐fitted straight line is obtained by plotting viscosity values against time, and the reaction proceeds in two stages at 280°C without catalyst. The use of catalyst lowered the temperature to 270°C for the appearance of two different rates. Additionally, some mathematical equations were derived between iodine value, refractive index, viscosity, and reaction time.
