Ottosson Linseed Oil Paint adheres to almost any clean, dry surface, including wood, metal, masonry, various composite materials. It protects a substrate from moisture, seasonal temperature changes, and UV exposure. The flax is grown and purified/degummed linseed oil is pressed locally in the south of Sweden, creating a completely solvent and petrochemical-free paint with zero micro-plastics. This environmentally conscious brand is proud to carry on the 500-year-old tradition of linseed oil paint: inspired by the past and designed for the benefit of future generations.

​

All Ottosson paint colors are formulated with the correct percentage of zinc, a natural fungicide that creates a slightly harder painted finish for increased durability.

Do not add additional zinc as it can create a brittle paint and impact longevity.

​

Designed specially for exterior and interior applications, Ottosson recommends a 30% paint to 70% Purified Linseed Oil "primer" on bare wood substrates. No 30/70 application when painting over an old coating or non-absorbent substrate.
