When can we say that a paint is natural?

We are tempted to believe that water-based products are environmentally friendly. But water soluble does not necessarily mean environmentally friendly. Water-based products are valued because they do not emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and because there is no danger of fire due to their flammability. This does not mean that they cannot also contain less healthy compounds. A product is considered natural if the raw materials from which it is made are found in nature, not obtained through a chemical process. If the material in question is subjected to processes such as bleaching or bleaching, these are also done using natural products and the process must not result in substances that could endanger human health.

Properties of oil-based paint

Kreidezeit's oil-based paint is a natural product that is very suitable for finishing wood outside as well as inside. It is recommended for finishing in children's rooms or for people with allergies. Let's see other properties of oil paint:

• Contains no synthetic materials,
• It is very weather resistant,
• It contains pigments which makes it resistant to UV radiation,
• It is elastic, it does not crack if the wood has dimensional variations caused by moisture variations,
• Easy to maintain and fix,
• The oil has the ability to penetrate deep into the wood,
• The top coat has a nice, satin sheen,
• Very good moisture resistance.

How to use

For a very good protection of the wood it is recommended to apply a 3-layer system:

• the first layer is grinded oil. It penetrates deep into the wood and protects it against moisture
• the second layer is semi-sealed oil-based hard-wearing paint. The varnish has high covering power and gives the wood a silky sheen
• the last layer is that of oil-based grease resistant paint. It is the final coat and is recommended for exterior applications. Its high oil content gives it very good weather resistance. The final appearance is glossy, oily.

Windows, doors, shutters or wood panelling can be painted. The paint can also be used to treat steel and zinc surfaces.

Before application, oil-based paints should be thoroughly agitated. If the paint is left on for a long time, a hardened flake forms on the surface due to the reaction of the oil with oxygen in the air. This should not be mixed with the rest of the paint but removed. The paint should be applied thinly and evenly with a brush or short-haired trowel. Do not apply the next coat until the first is completely dry.

In interior areas there is no need for the final coat of grease paint. Two coats of semi-greasy matt-matt paint can be applied.

Advantages of using oil-based paint

The paint is ready stained and can be applied directly to untreated wood. It can be used for exterior wood finishing due to its UV-resistant mineral pigment content.

It can be used for all types of exterior woodwork - windows and exterior doors, facades - but also for finishing toys.

Painting with oil paint results in an elastic film that does not crack or peel. Even if it degrades over time - the oil on the surface layer is washed away by the weather - the oil underneath still protects the wood. Recoating is simple, without cleaning the old layers. Another coat of paint or oil (colourless varnish) is applied.
