NCS code: 5731-Y78R
Made from Swedish cold-pressed boiled linseed oil and paint pigments. Suitable for painting both indoors and outdoors.
The iron primer is used as RUST PROTECTION PAINT. The pigment Hematite is a natural iron oxide that has a structure reminiscent of fish scales and together with linseed oil it provides an exceptionally effective protection against rust attacks. Use the paint as a primer on iron. Apply two thin layers.
On attacked iron, first brush off the loose rust with a steel brush. The surface does not need to be shiny. The iron primer penetrates attacked surfaces and prevents further corrosion.
If you then want to paint over the iron primer with another color, it works well with any of our other linseed oil paint colors.
Optimal rust protection is achieved by choosing our linseed oil paint Graphite, which is a traditional color for iron.
NOTE: The color sample shows three different colors. (Top) the standard color, (left) a mixture of equal volume parts standard color and White Titanium-Zinc (1+1) and (right) a mixture of one part standard color and three volume parts White Titanium-Zinc (1+3). You can mix these different colors yourself.
