The linseed oil paint Raw Umber Cypriot is immediately ready to paint. 

Our Raw Umber Cypriot is a beautiful, warm shade of brown. It belongs to the group of ochre tones, where the content of manganese determines the colour shade. The higher the manganese content is, the browner the colour appears. Raw Umber Cypriot is made by earth pigments. Earth colours have the property that they never harden completely and always remain elastic. Especially at high temperatures caused by solar radiation, the paint follow the strong movements of the wood. Umber pigments consists of limonite, carbon and about 15% black manganese dioxide. Manganese dioxide has a catalyzing effect and causes the linseed oil paint to dry faster. Natural pigments gives the paint a natural UV-protection. Raw Umber Cypriot is semi opaque and lightfast.
