About flax
Flax is an ancient cultivated plant. Cultivated already by the pile builders in Switzerland. Oil seeds that are cold-pressed produce an oil of the highest quality, and are also called virgin oil.
Properties
Environmentally friendly - A natural product that does not contain solvents or other additives.
High impregnation capacity
Cold-pressed linseed oil is thin and thus has a high penetration capacity.
water repellent
Due to 100% linseed oil content.
Quick dried
Swedish linseed oil has a high linolenic acid content, which reduces the drying time.
Areas of use
Unpainted wood can be primed and finished. Gives a lovely natural patina to carpentry, handicrafts, household items, rifle butts, etc.
Painted wood can be "refreshed" and given a better primer when the paint is removed.
Stone - brick, clinker and stone slabs can be surface treated. Then becomes darker and gets a dirt- and water-repellent surface.
Iron - Treat forged parts, railings, tools, fittings, hinges, etc. Excellent as rust protection.
