Pine Tars
Unpigmented Pine Tar Oil
Wood is the best and most natural material available. At the same time, it is alive and is affected by everything that happens around it. Weather and wind, acid rain, insects, mould and algae are examples of things that adversely affect the surface of wood. But you can avoid this if you treat your facade, patio, dock or outdoor furniture with pine tar. Auson Pine Tar oil is thin-bodied tar oil which is based on Genuine Pine Tar and the finest Gum Turpentine.
Pine Tar is nature´s own wood protection and consists among others various kinds of resins and terpenes. Resins are the tree´s natural way of protecting themselves against micro-organisms and heal injuries. Terpenes are a solvent and it accelerate the drying process. Pine Tar is produced of resin-rich pine trees in furnace.
Pine Tar oil penetrates deep into the wood, preventing it from drying out and splitting. The tar protects effectively against water penetration and delays the degradation of the timber. Light Pine Tar oil is dark brown when painting but the colour will eventually fade away as the UV rays break down the tar on the surface. This whole process can take up to a few months before the entire surface has returned to the colour that was before painting.

Red Pine Tar
This tar paint gives facades the traditional Falun red colour that is so typical of Sweden. It also provides the best protection from weather and wind. Red Tar is perfect for both classic summer cottages with white house corners and wooden houses with modern architecture and colour schemes as well as wooden roofs. You can use Red Tar on untreated wood and on wood that has previously been treated with tar, distemper paint or iron vitriol. If you paint on planed wood, you need to dilute with 10–20% turpentine or denatured alcohol. On non-planed wood, no preparations are needed.
Always stir well before painting, since the colour pigment gathers near the bottom during storage. Stir regularly while painting, too. Otherwise the colour pigment will gather at the bottom and you will end up with an uneven colour on your facade.
