The Traditional Paint Company Pure Linseed Oil Paint is formulated from pure boiled linseed oil which is then combined with pigments for colouring and drying additives. This makes for an extremely environmentally friendly product. The paint has excellent opacity with a high resistance to water, it also extremely flexible making it resistant to crack or splitting over time. These combined attribute make for a highly durable and long lasting coating with a gloss finish.
Due to its natural and traditional formulation Pure Linseed oil paint is not available in vibrant bright colours, but is available in black white and most pastel tones. We can also colour match this product to most RAL, BS and NCS colour codes.
Another effect of this natural formulation is an extending drying time, the paint can take from to 2 weeks to cure depending on the weather condition. In low temperatures and high humidity overcoating times will be extended - for further advice please contact our technical team.

Traditionally, painters would apply a fine coat of pure boiled linseed oil first to increase adhesion of the paint. This is an optional priming coat as the paint will still be durable without this coat of Pure Boiled Linseed Oil. Apply in thin coats to the surface, rather than in one thick coating.
