Linoleum wax

Ottosson linoleic wax (oil wax) is used as a surface treatment product to obtain protective and water-repellent surfaces. Common surfaces for treatment are brick floors, tiles, table tops and windowsills made of natural stone, wood and metal.
The linoleum wax is perfect on surfaces glazed with Ottosson's glaze colours. It discolors the glaze minimally and the surface becomes pleasantly velvety.

NOTE. It is not possible to paint on waxed surfaces. Once wax always wax!

Combining natural waxes such as beeswax and carnauba wax (palm wax) together with linseed oil and natural resins (tree resin) has been known to man for a long time and there are countless recipes for such surface treatment products. Wax is a complex ester with chemical formula CH3(CH2)nCOOC(CH2)mCH3. Waxes change their shape with heat (liquid form) and cold (hard and brittle form).

With the help of heat, the wax can be combined with linseed oil and resin (resin) and obtain different properties.
