Natural paint from Sweden: paint with an ancient history

Suited for rough, untreated wood

In Sweden, wooden houses have been painted with natural paint for hundreds of years. The recipe might have been altered slightly over the years, but the core of the traditional recipe has always been natural, renewable, raw materials; such as (boiled) linseed oil, wheat, rye flour and natural or nature identical pigments.

• Does not contain VOCs, solvents or other harmful substances.
• Produced in Sweden, with as much renewable materials as possible.
• Maintenance without sanding, so no paint residues are released into the environment.
• Does not smell, is easy to spread, absolutely harmless to people and the environment.
• Suitable for very rough, untreated wood.

Order Moose S

Moose S natural paint: only for rough, untreated wood

The ingredients of Moose S are very simple: starch from rye and wheat flour serves as a binder and water as a solvent. It also contains earth pigments and linseed oil. The environment is protected to the greatest possible extent during the extraction of these substances. These ingredients are cooked over a long period of time. This creates a protective, natural finish that allows oxygen and moisture to pass through so the wood can continue to breathe. For certain colors the mixture is boiled to achieve the correct thickness and binding. The use of volatile solvents (VOC) is avoided.

Production, use and disposal afterwards (construction and demolition waste) are fully sustainable and environmentally friendly. Moose Färg natural paint is ideal for the conscious consumer, who also makes high demands on the appearance and long term use properties of this natural product, which has been used in Sweden for centuries.

Attention: Moose S can only be used on very rough and untreated wood. Unfortunately, the adhesion is not sufficient for planed and impregnated wood. The natural paint is easily washed off the surface. For smooth, impregnated and planed wood we recommend using Moose F. Our paint type Moose F can be used for all types of wood.

Moose S is only available in the colors Falu Röd (Swedish red) and Vasa Svart (Deep black).

For impregnated, pre-painted or planed wood: use Moose F

In Sweden it is completely normal to build houses from raw, untreated wood. In the Netherlands we usually see more processed wood, such as impregnated and smooth planed wood. It’s also possible that you’ve already painted or stained your wood and want to repaint it. A natural paint such as Moose S cannot adhere and we recommend using Moose F.

Moose F is suitable for all types of wood and surfaces such as smooth planed wood, previously painted wood and impregnated wood. It contains the same natural ingredients but to make it suitable for smooth surfaces it also contains modified natural oils such as alkyd. Like Moose S, Moose F is completely matt.

Moose F is very suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. For example, think of barns, garden houses, fences and wooden houses. The production, use and disposal after use (construction and demolition waste) of Moose F are fully sustainable and environmentally friendly. Moose Färg paint is therefore ideal for the conscious consumer who also places high demands on the appearance and long-term performance of this natural product, which has been used in Sweden for centuries.

Moose F is available in a wide range of colors with a real Swedish character.
