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.
Range: approx. 15 m² / liter
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.
