The binding agent in Allbäck linseed oil paint is "boiled"
(oxidized) linseed oil from Skåne, the southernmost province
of Sweden. It is very low emitting and completely free from harmful
additives and solvents. The natural pigments used in the white paint
are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Other shades are made from
natural metal oxides and earth colors. All color shades can be blended
with one another to create an infinite array of colors.

| This displays the amazing penetration
power of the Allback Linseed Oil Paint. Paint will penetrate the
wood surface and give it great resistance to water and subsequently
rot. |
Linseed oil paint can be used both outdoors and indoors, on timbers
and metal. It ages visibly, fading naturally over time. After some
time, the paint will become chalky as the natural pigment begins
to be released. Brushing the surface and applying a coat of Maintenance
Linseed Oil Wax or Raw Linseed
Oil as a last coat helps the surface regain it's former luster
and function, simply and inexpensively.
Linseed Oil Paint can also be mixed
to an emulsion and applied to most types of plaster, brick or stone
walls (internally or externally) or cement floors, but not on lime
plaster. For any wooden surfaces use undiluted Linseed Oil Paint. Emulsion
should not be used on any woodwork. Please check and read instruction
sheet thoroughly before undertaking.

on the ceiling used as an emulsion in the Old Kitchen, Holkham
Hall 2001. Microscopic analysis of the paint layers showed
that the first color applied on the wall in the 1750's was
a "gray-oil" paint. |

"By Allback Paint" is a flat Linseed Oil Paint exclusively for interior

specifications.
- The paint contains linseed oil, water, filling agent, natural
pigment and drying agent
- The paint is available in six shades that are mutually mixable.
(White , Gray , Vanilla , Green , Oat , Yellow Ochre)
- The paint is packed in 1 liter cans
- It covers approximately 22 - 160 square feet / 1.05 liter depending
on the surface and desired structure. The structure of the paint
can be varied through the choice of brush/ roller. The paints
can be diluted with 5% water. You can use up to 10% boiled linseed
oil if you desire a more glossy surface.
- The paint will have an even, matte surface without shiny patches
on all surfaces. The paint's penetration ability has been minimized.
- The paint dries as water evaporates and the linseed oil oxidizes.
The drying time is about 24 hours depending on the thickness of
the paint, ventilation, temperature etc. When the paints are drying
there may be a slight smell of linseed oil. There is a lot of
oil and water that has to oxidize and evaporate. Make sure you
have good ventilation!
Why is Allback Linseed Oil Paint Superior?
 Allback
uses a unique but not new technique to clean and then sterilize
the linseed oil in Allback
paint.
In the jar is cold, pressed linseed oil directly from the press.
As you can see the linseed oil contains a white substance. This
is protein that will cause a variety of problems from mildew and
rot. Most if not all paint manufacturers leave protein in the oil
and add massive amounts of chemicals in order to keep the paint
from rotting. In the bottle you see cleaned and sterilized linseed
oil. What oil would you prefer to have in your paint?
