Red Pine Tar

Red Pine Tar is a classic pigmented pine tar based on genuine tar, gum turpentine and linseed oil which gives the surface a traditional Falu Red color, similar red earth paint. The similar Falu Red color emerges gradually as tar natural brown color toned down. Red Pine Tar gives a rejected water surface and protection against UV-­radiation. Contains 100% active ingredients.

Pine Tar is nature´s own wood protection and consists among others various kinds of resins and terpenes. Resins are the tree´s natural way of protecting themselves against micro-­organisms and heal injuries. Terpenes are a solvent and it accelerates the drying process. Pine Tar is produced of resin-­rich pine trees in furnace.

For best result apply Red Pine Tar in warm weather, at least 10 degrees Celsius. The product becomes then easier to work with and it penetrates right into the timber. Red Pine Tar should be mixed with at least 20% gum turpentine. For easier penetration of planned wood such as timber facades, Red Pine Tar should be further diluted with 10-­15% gum turpentine.

As pigment settles during storage, it is important to thoroughly stir the can before painting. Stir although occasionally during painting. Be aware of that Red Pine Tar is a product of nature where the appearance may vary from different batches. If you have several cans of various productions (see white label on the cover), you should mix these together to avoid color differences.

Red Pine Tar shall not be withdrawn on wood previously treated with other solid colors
