Linseed oil from Sweden: superior protection of wood<\/h1>\n\n

Are you looking for a sustainable way to preserve your wood? Do you want to treat or impregnate your wood so that it is protected against moisture?<\/p>\n\n

Protecting (hard)wood with high-quality linseed oil ensures that your wood lasts much longer. Linseed oil makes your wooden decking, teak deck, garden furniture or window frames water-repellent. Because no moisture remains in the wood, fungi cannot find nourishment, it remains free of wood rot and the bending strength is increased.<\/p>\n\n

Unlike raw linseed oil, purified linseed oil dries much faster. And unlike boiled linseed oil, pure linseed oil does not yellow. A high-quality product for sustainable wood protection!<\/p><\/div>\n\n

What is purified linseed oil?<\/h2>

Linseed oil is a natural product that is pressed from the seeds of flax. This oil is a mixture of fatty acids, proteins, waxes and antioxidants. Of these, only the unsaturated fatty acids are needed to function as a good impregnating oil. All other components of the linseed oil affect the end result. For example, beta-carotene – the coloring agent of carrots – ensures that normal linseed oil yellows quickly. Normal linseed oil also dries very slowly and not equally quickly in all places. This can cause cracks to appear: with old masters such as Rembrandt, for example, one sees crackle, which are cracks in the top layer of the painting.<\/p>

Boiling raw linseed oil removes some of these impurities. The oxidation process that takes place ensures that the oil dries faster. Purified linseed oil has all non-drying ingredients removed using a unique purification method. The unnecessary substances that cause yellowing and bacterial growth have been removed from the raw linseed oil. Purified wood oil is therefore a pure, superior, drying wood oil.<\/p>

Resistant to mold and wood rot<\/h3>\n\n

Treating wood with purified linseed oil makes it water-repellent, rot-resistant, dimensionally stable and increases its bending strength. Because the wood is waterproof, fungi cannot grow – no organism can extract nutrition from dry wood or from the oil. An ideal decking oil or patio oil, especially for hardwood, such as bankirai, meranti, red cedar or teak.<\/p>\n\n

Deep penetration into the wood<\/h3>\n\n

Purified linseed oil is absorbed 1.5 – 3 mm into the wood. This cannot be achieved with other wood oils that do not penetrate as deeply into the surface. Field tests and tests in a rotting chamber show that wood that is deeply impregnated with purified linseed oil remains rot-free for at least 24 years – even in moist soil! Normal linseed oil does not last even 3 years.<\/p>\n\n

Step-by-step plan: how to treat wood with linseed oil?<\/h2>

You can apply the oil at room temperature. Heating the oil before applying it to the wood – for example in a deep fryer – allows the oil to penetrate deeper, making it last even longer.<\/p>

  1. Heating the oil<\/strong>

    Heat B\u00e4sta Olja to 130 \u00b0C in a deep fryer. You can work safely with the oil at this temperature without it causing burns. The oil will not burn or fume.<\/p> <\/li>

  2. Apply<\/strong>

    Apply the linseed oil to completely dry wood. Please note: when applying heated linseed oil, always choose a natural brush (hog bristle) – synthetic brushes melt at these temperatures. You may see small steam bubbles on the surface when you apply heated B\u00e4sta Olja.Spread from areas that are saturated to areas that are still absorbing oil. Continue applying and spreading until the entire surface is saturated. The oil penetrates up to 1.5 mm into healthy wood. Let the oil soak in.For a penetration of 2-3 mm, heat the surface during work with a hot air blower or an IR heater.Deep impregnation by immersion in warm oil at 130 degrees is also possible. You can do this, for example, at the ends of wooden posts or at small wooden parts.<\/p> <\/li>

  3. Removing excess oil<\/strong>

    Remove any residual oil and dust left on the surface after 20-30 minutes (if heated application) or 1 hour (if day temperature application) with a cloth. Oil left on the surface becomes sticky.For a semi-gloss surface: sand the oil remaining on the surface first with #120, then with #320.Please note: Linseed oil consists of oxidizing fatty acids that can spontaneously ignite. Cloths, shavings and other porous materials moistened with B\u00e4sta Olja should be immediately immersed in water.<\/p> <\/li>

  4. Drying<\/strong>

    The linseed oil dries by reaction with oxygen and the time it takes to dry depends on two factors: the supply of oxygen and the temperature. At 20\u00b0C and with good ventilation, purified linseed oil dries in 24 hours or less.<\/p> <\/li>

  5. Cleaning<\/strong>

    Wash brushes and tools used with a strong soap, e.g. Polarsken linseed oil soap<\/a>. Clean the wood itself with water during maintenance. Do not use soap, as this affects the oil.<\/p> <\/li><\/ol><\/div>
