It is approved by the French Navy as a ship varnish and is suitable for both interior and exterior use.

LE TONKINOIS BIO IMPRESSION Pre-Coat Oil
A highly effective pre-coating oil that protects, beautifies and hardens wood. LE TONKINOIS BIO IMPRESSION is ideal for pre-treatment before varnishing, as it penetrates deep into the wood and, due to its saturation, unifies the absorption behavior of the wood surface. Made from pure natural oils (linseed oil, castor oil, palm oil) and free from harmful substances and solvents. The oil dries quickly, is abrasion-resistant after drying and provides a good base for further surface coating with varnishes such as LE TONKINOIS Vernis or Marine No.1.Technical DataApplication area: Interior/exterior wood: windows, doors, fences, cladding, floorsSubstrate: sanded, clean, dry, max. 15% moistureApplication: brush, flat brushCoverage: avg. 20 m²/l; 30–50 ml/m² eepending on materialThinner: noneDrying (20 °C): dust dry 6–8 hrs, recoatable after 12 hrsIngredients: linseed oil, tung oil, natural resins, isoaliphaticsFurther information can be found in the technical data sheet under "Downloads".
