Penetration
Linseed oil soaks into the grain. No surface film to crack or peel.

OUTDOOR WOOD FINISH · ART. 236
LEINOS 236 — DIN 53160 skin-contact safe with built-in sapstain protection. Linseed oil + natural resin for Indian terraces.
Ready-Mix Shades
3 ready-mix shades. Custom NCS or RAL tinting available at our Delhi lab.
Wood is a living material — actual colour depends on species, grain density, and substrate age. Each shade you see here is a reference. Our specialists confirm the final match with you before specification.
Beyond the Standard Range
Custom NCS or RAL tinting at our Delhi lab — any architectural reference matched across the full colour palette. Bring the spec, take the shade home.
Natural tone deepens slightly under sun. Brownish and Reddish carry UV-screening pigment density that stabilises Indian hardwoods across monsoon cycles.
Mechanism & Use
Oil-resin finish that bonds inside the wood — with a built-in REACH-registered sapstain layer for tropical monsoon climate.
Linseed oil soaks into the grain. No surface film to crack or peel.
Natural resin cross-links the cured oil inside the wood fibres.
Open-pore finish lets the timber move with monsoon seasons.
Built-in mould protection for outdoor timber under monsoon humidity.
Where It Lives
Goa villa balconies
Sea-facing teak decks under salt air and monsoon UV.
Mumbai rooftop terraces
Roof gardens and entertaining decks above the heat.
Boutique resort pool decks
Splashed timber around pools and patios, IPBC-protected.

Origin
Manufactured by Reincke Naturfarben, Lower Saxony, est. 1985.
Unlike film finishes that crack and peel under tropical sun, 236 bonds inside the wood and renews with a single brush coat — full maintenance protocol in the TDS.
Read The Full TDSStep by Step
Prepare the substrate — dry, clean, dust- and grease-free, absorbent. Sand off any film coatings (PU, varnish) if present. Solid sawn wood only, no painted or sealed substrates. For weathered teak, pair with LEINOS 940 Entgrauer before this step.

Check conditions — surface and ambient temperature ≥ 10°C, wood moisture ≤ 15%, dry weather window (no rain forecast 48 h ahead). Avoid direct midday sun on the application surface.

Stir 236 thoroughly — mix before brushing; ready to use, do not thin. Natural oils and pigments settle during storage and need to be re-blended.

Apply the first coat — brush thinly along the grain. No puddles or excess pooling. Coverage approx. 140–250 sq ft per litre per coat. Wipe off any surface excess after 15 min if pooling appears. Touch-dry in 6–8 h at 20°C.

Wait and check — recoatable after 16–24 h at 20°C and average humidity. Allow longer (24–36 h) in humid monsoon weather. No sanding required between coats.

Apply the second coat — brush thinly, no excess. Allow 24–48 h cure before water exposure or footfall. Full cure 7–14 days. Dispose of oil-soaked rags in a sealed metal container or under water — spontaneous combustion risk.

Full Declaration
Every ingredient declared on the label. The Trust Hub explains what each one does and the standards behind it.
Linseed Oil
Cold-pressed flax-seed oil — the LEINOS signature drying oil. Polymerises with oxygen to bond inside the wood grain. Plant-based, with centuries of fine-art and traditional wood-finishing pedigree.
Wood Oil (Tung)
Tung-tree seed oil, plant-derived. Co-binder alongside linseed for harder exterior cure under tropical sun and rain cycles.
Natural Resin (Rosin Ester)
Pine-derived natural resin ester. Cross-links the cured oil into a flexible matrix inside the wood fibres — the “resin” in the brand’s oil-resin chemistry.
Isoaliphatic Carrier
Plant-derived isoparaffin solvent carrier (40–50% by mass per Reincke SDS L-236). Evaporates fully on cure, leaving the oil-resin matrix bonded in the timber.
Sapstain biocide (IPBC) + Drying catalysts
REACH-registered IPBC biocide (0.1–0.6%) protects against blue-stain mould per EU Directive 528/2012. Manganese and calcium siccatives speed the oxidative polymerisation of the linseed-oil base. Disclosed per InVeNa full-disclosure pledge.
