NCS code: 5731-Y78R
Made from Swedish cold-pressed boiled linseed oil and color pigments. Suitable for painting both indoors and outdoors.
Iron ore is used as a 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 extremely effective protection against rust. Use the paint as a primer on iron. Apply two thin layers.
On corroded iron, first wire brush away the loose rust. The surface does not need to be shiny. The iron oxide penetrates corroded surfaces and prevents further corrosion.
If you then want to paint over the ironwork with a different color, you can use one of our other linseed oil paint colors.
Optimal rust protection is achieved if you choose 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 parts by volume of the standard color and White Titanium-Zinc (1+1), and (right) a mixture of one part of the standard color and three parts by volume of White Titanium-Zinc (1+3). You can mix these different colors yourself.
