We call our pure white pure because it has not been tinted with other pigment pastes. It is therefore a very clear, neutral and radiant shade of white.
Our pure white is a mixture of titanium and zinc white in a ratio of 80% to 20%. Titan and zinc complement each other perfectly with their respective properties. Zinc white forms a connection with oil by saponification and thereby acquires a certain hardness; Titanium white chalks faster and therefore weathered more easily on the surface. Titanium white would be quite soft as a hardened layer of paint, pure zinc white would be too hard. Titanium white prevents yellowing to a certain extent. Zinc has an antiseptic effect and prevents the formation of surface mold. Our pure white has very good opacity and is lightfast.
You can choose whether you want the colour with or without a drying accelerator. The siccative additive accelerates the drying process by about one day.
We recommend priming with our cold-pressed linseed oil to saturate the wood.
If you are still undecided, you can order our colour samples.
(Please note: samples are without Desiccants)
Risk of spontaneous combustion! Rags/paper soaked in linseed oil can easily catch fire. Store rags and papers soaked in linseed oil in an airtight metal container or immerse them in water.
