Our Linseed Oil
Usually in late spring, the flax is ready to be harvested and the seeds are pressed to extract the raw linseed oil. The purity of this oil is key to producing high-quality paint. Brouns & Co ensure they use the purest oils for their paint. The oil is also produced in various forms for thinning paint or for wood treatments.
