Boiled Linseed Oil for Exterior Use, 1 l

Boiling linseed oil initiates a polymerisation process in which the oil thickens slightly. This process is halted when the oil cools down and by the airtight atmosphere (packaging), and resumed when the oil is actually applied to the wood. The process then continues and the oil dries faster. Depending on the original quality of the linseed oil and how long and hot the oil was boiled, it is either still thin and fluid or becomes brittle relatively quickly after being applied. When siccatives are mixed with the oil in the boiling process, we call the result boiled linseed oil. Here too, the amount and type of drying agent determines the drying time, but also the environmental impact.
For our boiled linseed oils, we only use seasoned and thus degummed, cold-pressed linseed oil that was boiled »gently« and thus achieves good penetration and quick drying. The manganese siccatives used for the boiled linseed oil are among the most environmentally compatible drying agents and their addition is strictly controlled.
