Product information "Kreidezeit linseed oil varnish, solvent-free"
Kreidezeit linseed oil varnish is a solvent-free surface protection product that can be used indoors on low-traffic wooden surfaces such as furniture, doors, beams, panelling and much more. The product can also be used as a primer for Kreidezeit stand oil paints and wood glazes.
The key ingredient is linseed oil, which is extracted from the flax plant by cold-pressing its seeds under high pressure. The oil yield can be as high as 90 per cent. Although linseed oil does dry when exposed to oxygen, it takes several weeks to dry thoroughly; for this reason, drying agents are added to the linseed oil to reduce this time to 24–48 hours.
Areas of application
Used undiluted as a solvent-free surface protection for low-traffic wooden surfaces indoors; classic oiled finish: furniture, doors, beams, panelling, and much more.
Suitable as a primer for subsequent coats of:
- opaque stand oil paints on all untreated woods
- pigmented wood stains on highly absorbent or weathered woods
To do this, dilute linseed oil varnish in a 1:1 ratio with balsam turpentine oil (Item 447) (=> half-oil).
For the production of oil paints according to your own recipes.
When applying to very dense, low-absorbent and tannin-rich wood species, slight dilution with natural balsam turpentine oil is recommended.
Linseed oil guarantees a long ‘open’ working time and, thanks to its small molecular size, penetrates deeply even into the smallest wood pores. This enables excellent bonding between the substrate and subsequent oil coats.
Properties
- dirt- and water-repellent
- resin-free, solvent-free
- very good bonding with subsequent oil-based coats
- does not crack or become brittle
- Vapour-permeable, antistatic, warm to the touch
- transparent, honey-coloured, enhancing
- Excellent penetration
- easy to apply, easy to repair
- suitable for children’s toys in accordance with EN 71-3
- saliva- and sweat-resistant in accordance with DIN 53160
- cobalt-, lead- and barium-free
- vegan

Surface preparation / initial sanding
Remove resin blisters and old synthetic resin-based coatings. Sand new and weathered timber (grain size P 80–100), rounding off the edges. Do not sand any finer, as this will compact the wood and prevent it from absorbing enough oil. It is better to ‘open up’ new, smooth, planed or finely pre-sanded timber by sanding. Remove all dust thoroughly after sanding.
Application
Shake the product briefly before use.
Kreidezeit linseed oil varnish is applied once or twice, allowing the surface to dry in between coats. Intermediate sanding may be necessary before the second coat.
Mix containers from different batch numbers together before use. The product must not be poured onto surfaces!
Clean and dust untreated substrates.
To ensure good penetration, it is recommended to dilute the product with at least 20% balsam turpentine oil for the first coat on very dense, low-absorbent and tannin-rich woods (e.g. oak).
Please note:
Wood used outdoors should be fitted with stainless steel screws and fittings; otherwise, dark discolouration may occur when the surface is treated with oil.
Application and drying temperature: at least 10 °C for at least 48 hours.
1. First coat
Apply Kreidezeit linseed oil varnish evenly using a brush, short-pile roller, cloth or sponge. After 10–20 minutes, rub the entire treated area thoroughly with a dry, lint-free cloth until the surface has an even, silk-matt finish.
When wiping, ensure that any oil that has not been absorbed is completely removed, as otherwise shiny or sticky patches may remain.
Kreidezeit linseed oil varnish must penetrate the wood completely and must not form a film on the surface.
2. Intermediate sanding (optional)
Intermediate sanding is only necessary if the surface has dried rough after the first coat, e.g. due to raised wood fibres. Sand with sandpaper (grain size P 100–120) in the direction of the grain.
Remove all dust thoroughly after sanding.
3. Second coat (optional)
A second coat may be necessary if used on its own indoors, or if a subsequent coat of stand oil paint is required on highly absorbent or weathered wood. Repeat the process as for the first coat.
4. Subsequent coats
For subsequent coats, follow the product instructions for stand oil paint or wood stain.
5. Wax treatment
Oiled surfaces generally do not require a wax treatment. To enhance the sheen, a final treatment with Kreidezeit Carnauba Wax Emulsion may be carried out after at least 48 hours. To do this, dilute 1 part emulsion with 2 parts water, apply evenly and thinly, allow to dry and polish as required.
Drying time
Dry and ready for further work at 20 °C and 60% relative humidity after approx. 24 hours (or 48 hours on tannin-containing substrates, such as oak, etc.).
High humidity, cold temperatures and tannin-containing substrates significantly prolong the drying time.
Fully cured after approx. 4 weeks. During this time, use with care and protect from water.
Suitable tools
Varnish brushes / flat brushes, short-pile rollers (Magic Felt, item 6517), lint-free cloths, solvent-resistant plastic sponges
Cleaning the tools
Wash immediately after use with balsam turpentine oil, then rinse with olive care soap or Corfu soap.
Note
Due to the natural oil content, a dark yellowing may occur on surfaces with little exposure to light. A characteristic odour is emitted whilst the natural oils are drying, but this will dissipate over time. Any iron filings left on the surface may cause discolouration when the product is reapplied. Not recommended for use on the interior surfaces of closed cupboards; these are best treated with shellac varnish, carnauba wax emulsion or Corfu soap.
To tint the product, Kreidezeit linseed oil varnish can be mixed with Kreidezeit earth and mineral pigments; to do this, first mix the pigments with a small amount of the linseed oil varnish and only then add them to the total volume.
