Linseed oil paint iron oxide red

NCS code:  5731-Y78R

Made from Swedish cold-pressed boiled linseed oil and color pigments. Suitable for painting both indoors and outdoors.

Iron minium is used as an ANTI-CORROSION PAINT. The pigment Hematite is a natural iron oxide that has a structure similar to fish scales and, together with linseed oil, provides exceptionally effective protection against rust. Use the paint as a primer on iron. Apply two thin coats.

On rusted iron, first wire brush away loose rust. The surface does not need to be shiny. Iron minium penetrates affected surfaces and prevents further corrosion.

If you then wish to paint over the iron minium with another color, you can do so with any of our other linseed oil paint colors.

Optimal rust protection is achieved by choosing our Graphite linseed oil paint, which is a traditional color for iron.

NOTE: The color sample shows three different colors. (Top) standard color, (left) mixture of equal volume parts of standard color and White Titanium-Zinc (1+1) and (right) mixture of one part standard color and three volume parts of White Titanium-Zinc (1+3). You can mix these different colors yourself.
