Enviromental impact

Past 20 years are characterised by worries about environment In many ways this is a great advantage for us, because linseed oil meets a whole range of criteria for the production of environmentally friendly products.

Growing and processing flax is environmentally friendly and does not deplete natural resources. Linseed oil degrades naturally and leaves no harmful waste. Linseed oil-based paints can almost always be applied without the addition of solvents. Today, we commonly hear that harmless paints are those that are ‘water-based’. However, the whole concept of ‘water-based paints’ is misleading, they are only water-thinnable.The paint itself is in fact based on completely different chemicals, the impact of which on the environment and people must be taken into account.
