Auson Tar Vitriol 3 Liter

Description

Tar vitriol is based on Genuine Wood Tar, Balsam Turpentine and a grey pigment that gives the surface a colour similar to iron vitriol. The warm grey colour gradually appears as the natural brown colour of the tar is toned down. Tar vitriol gives a modern and natural grey colour that is at the same time water repellent and provides protection against the sun's UV radiation. Contains 100% active ingredients. Wood tar is nature's own wood protection and consists of, among other things, various types of resins and terpenes. Resin (resin) is the tree's natural way of protecting itself against microorganisms and healing injuries. Terpenes are a solvent and accelerate drying. Wood tar is made in an oven from resin-rich pine trees.

Areas of use

Tar vitriol can be used on wood that has previously been treated with iron vitriol as well as on untreated or previously tarred wood such as wood panels, facade timbers, fences, wooden roofs, pallet collars, etc.

Application

Best results are achieved if painting with Tar vitriol is carried out in warm weather, at least 10 °C. The product is then easier to work with and penetrates the surface better. No balsam turpentine needs to be added. As the pigment sinks to the bottom during storage, it is important to stir the can thoroughly before painting. Also stir from time to time during painting.

Keep in mind that wood tar is a natural product that can vary slightly in appearance from different productions (batches). If you have several cans from different productions (see white label on the lid), you should mix them together to avoid color differences. Tar vitriol should not be applied to wood previously treated with other opaque paint types. Painting: Brush off dust, dirt and loose paint. Wash off algae and mold growth. The surface must be dry when painting. Paint directly without primer. Use a brush. Can also be sprayed. Can be painted over after about 1-2 days. Paint 2 times for optimal protection and for the best color.

Here you can protect with Tar vitriol

Tar vitriol can be used on wood that has previously been treated with iron vitriol as well as on untreated or previously tarred wood. For example, facades, planks, pitched roofs, pallet collars, etc. The wonderful tar scent lingers for about a month after painting. However, the scent fades significantly after just a few days. We recommend only painting with Tar vitriol outdoors.

A pure natural product

Wood tar is a product from the forest, when you paint a wooden facade with wood tar, the natural substances that the tree itself uses against attack are added. Tar vitriol consists of only three ingredients; wood tar, balsam turpentine and a grey pigment. Together they form a product that provides a unique wood protection that resists moisture, while allowing the wood to breathe.

The colour develops gradually

The colour will first appear brownish because the wood tar initially settles on the surface together with the pigment. Immediately after the first application, the wood tar begins its process of penetrating the wood to protect it from the inside, while the grey pigment remains on the surface and gives the wood a stylish warm grey colour. The process can take different lengths of time depending on the type of wood and the wooden surface, read more about this in our painting guide. Facades exposed to a lot of sunlight will dull further compared to facades in the shade.
