Red Pine Tar

Auson Red Tar is the origin of all Swedish paints. The original red paint. 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.

Top score in Folksam’s paint review

Pine tar is a totally natural product that protects your house from mildew and rot fungi, and prevents moisture from penetrating the wood. This led to our Red Pine Tar being one of the outdoor paints that did best in Folksam’s Paint Review.

Pine Tar vitriol

Auson Tar Vitriol is a thin tar glaze that produces a stylish, modern grey colour. The warm grey colour appears gradually, as the tar’s natural brown colour is toned down. The end result is a stylish grey hue that blends in with nature and protects the wood. Tar Vitriol contains turpentine and can be used on untreated wood and on wood that has previously been treated with tar or iron vitriol. You can use Pine Tar Vitriol on wood paneling, timber such as facades, fences, wooden ceilings, pallet collars etc. 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 accelerates the drying process. Pine Tar is produced of resin-rich pine trees in furnace. Always stir well before painting, since the colour pigment gathers near the bottom during storage. Stir regularly while painting, too. This is particularly important for the vitriol pine tar, as it’s thinner than the other pine tar paints and therefore needs more frequent stirring. Otherwise the colour pigment will gather at the bottom and you will end up with an uneven colour on your facade.

Roslag Mahogny

Auson Roslag Mahogany is a low-viscosity tar glaze that provides a darker mahogany tone. It is based on an old Swedish formula with Genuine Pine Tar, linseed oil and gum turpentine. Since Roslag Mahogany has a very low viscosity, it should be applied in two thin coats. Remember to let the surface dry thoroughly between coats. Feel free to use Auson Roslag Mahogany on docks, boats, shingled roofs and, of course, on different types of wooden buildings. Roslagsmahogny can be used on wood previous treated with pine tar. Coverage: 6–12 m2/litre depending on the surface. More tips and advice for painting with pine tar paint can be found in our painting guide. Click here to get to it!
Gum Turpentine

Gum Turpentine

Genuine gum turpentine is a biodegradable solvent used to dilute pine tar and linseed oil paints. The product also dissolves fat and other contaminants from the surface. Gum Turpentine is a very effective cleaner and disinfectant and is free from water and precipitation. Auson Gum Turpentine contains, just like pine tar, several components which serves the woods need of protection. A traditional recipe for treatment of wood is one third each of gum turpentine, pine tar and linseed oil, raw or boiled.

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.

Genuine Pine Tar

Genuine Pine Tar is a traditional kilned pine tar and is perfectly suited to modern wooden houses, timber houses, wooden roofs, docks and other outdoor wooden structures. It also has good penetration on non-planed wood. An old formula for wood treatment is one-third each of genuine pine tar, turpentine and boiled or raw linseed oil. Genuine Pine Tar also has healing properties and works well on, among other things, the hooves of horses and other animals.

Black-Brown Pine Tar

Auson Black-Brown is a genuine pine tar with both black and brown pigments. Black-brown pine tar produces a softer look than Auson Black Tar. We call Black-Brown Tar the architect’s choice. It provides the same protection against rot and drying out as all our other tar paints. The softer black hue is a good match for modern wooden homes, as well as fences, boathouses and wooden roofs. You can use Black-Brown Tar on untreated wood or on wood that has previously been painted 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 olour on your facade.

Brown Pine Tar

Auson Brown Tar is a classic pine tar. The brown colour has its origins in the national romantic period of the 19th century. Now, more than a hundred years later, brown wood exteriors and roofs have once again become popular. Brown Tar produces a matte brown colour and a beautiful wood surface. And the pine tar naturally provides protection from strong sunlight, moisture and rot. You can use Brown Tar on untreated wood and on wood that has previously been painted with tar, distemper paint or iron vitriol.

Always stir well before painting, since the colour pigment gathers near the bottom during storage. Stir regularly while painting, too.
