Linseed Oil Paint

Ottosson Linseed Oil Paint adheres to almost any clean, dry surface, including wood, metal, masonry, various composite materials. It protects a substrate from moisture, seasonal temperature changes, and UV exposure. The flax is grown and purified/degummed linseed oil is pressed locally in the south of Sweden, creating a completely solvent and petrochemical-free paint with zero micro-plastics. This environmentally conscious brand is proud to carry on the 500-year-old tradition of linseed oil paint: inspired by the past and designed for the benefit of future generations.

All Ottosson paint colors are formulated with the correct percentage of zinc, a natural fungicide that creates a slightly harder painted finish for increased durability.

Do not add additional zinc as it can create a brittle paint and impact longevity.

Designed specially for exterior and interior applications, Ottosson recommends a 30% paint to 70% Purified Linseed Oil "primer" on bare wood substrates. No 30/70 application when painting over an old coating or non-absorbent substrate.

Top Five Benefits of Ottosson Linseed Oil Paint

Cost Savings. – A paint job is 90% labor. Use a paint that does not crack, peel, or cause deterioration to the substrate.
Great Coverage. – Nothing evaporates out of the can or during application. A natural oil-based paint achieves almost double the coverage of an average acrylic paint.
Basic Maintenance. – Clean and apply Purified Linseed Oil or a thin, even coat of paint in the years to come to nourish the dry substrate.
No Barrier. High Penetration. – Linseed oil soaks into the substrate vs. sitting on the surface like a plastic bag trapping moisture when encapsulation fails, creating the ideal conditions for rot and deterioration.
Human Health. – 100% solvent and petrochemical free (derived from crude oil manufacturing) from application to clean-up. No harmful VOCS, plant-based, low waste, and micro-plastic free. Human health is environmental health.
