What is wood wax oil?
Wood wax oil is a common name for vegetable oil wax paint in China. It is a natural wood paint that is similar to paint but different from paint.It is completely different from the current paint based on petrochemical synthetic resin. The raw materials are mainly refined linseed oil,Palm wax and other natural vegetable oils are blended with vegetable waxes and other natural ingredients, and even the pigments used for color matching have reached food grade. Therefore, it does not contain toxic ingredients such as triphenyl, formaldehyde,and heavy metals, and has no pungent smell. It can replace paint for home decoration and outdoor garden woodwork.
Application of wood wax oil: At present, wood wax oil has become an important coating method for pure solid wood furniture. There latively well-known furniture brands in China are applying wood wax oil in large quantities,and it has been widely recognized . The interior of the car is painted with this kind of environmental protection . Wood wax oil has relatively high requirements on the basis of wood, and is usually used in pure solid wood furniture such as North American wood that is harder and has better texture and color.Generally, ordinary pine and fir are rarely used,and wood wax oil cannot be used for veneered furniture.
What is the advantages of wood wax oil?
1. Fast drying: Wood wax oil can be industrially produced by using a specific desiccant.
2. In close contact with the wood surface: due to the use of environmentally friendly plant products, and the transfer of chemical elements will not occur after drying.
3. Excellent insulation: the protective layer formed by wood wax oil and wood surface is a good insulating material.
4. Inhalation: Wood wax oil can directly penetrate into the inside of the tube holes of the wood, instead of the traditional surface coating, so it will protect the wood for a longtime.
5. Adjust the natural humidity: because the vegetable oil penetrates into the wood surface and does not form a protective layer of the paint film layer, the humidity can be exchanged through the pits of the wood, so as to avoid the uneven local moisture content of the wood caused by too low indoor humidity and make he wood more stable. be guaranteed.
6. Natural breathing: The ability of wood to breathe freely can not only ensure the stability of the wood, but also make some internal contents of the wood (according to scientific investigation: there are many contents beneficial to the human body inside the wood)to be released slowly, so that Get a natural and healthy environment.
7.Excellent durability: The surface of wood wax oil will not form a protective layer on the surface of wood like the surface of paint, so we cannot demand its wear resistance like paint, which is two different concepts. And what we should be more concerned about is durability, which means the length of use. It has been proven through practice that wood coated with wood wax oil has been properly used and maintained, and its service life far exceeds that of painted wood surfaces.
8. Anti yellowing: By using the correct wood wax oil products, it is possible to prevent yellowing and redness of coniferous and light colored hardwood.
9. Easy to repair: Due to the penetration of wood wax oil into the interior of the wood, it is not easily damaged, and after damage, it can be easily repaired through repair oil.
10. Environmental protection: As wood wax oil does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde and heavy metals, its use is becoming increasingly widespread.
How to use wood wax oil?
Wood wax oil should not be mixed with other paints or coatings. It is recommended to use it in a well ventilated environment at room temperature when applying the first layer. Before applying, please thoroughly mix the wood wax oil and use a high-quality bristle brush or artificial bristle brush to evenly and thinly apply it to the wood surface, following the direction of the wood texture. Use a dust-free cloth to remove any residual wood wax oil and carefully check for any omissions. Placing it in a room temperature, dry environment for 4-6 hours overnight will be more conducive to the brushing effect.
When applying the second layer, use the same method as the first layer to ensure a thin and uniform coating and good ventilation. At room temperature for 4-6 hours, the overnight effect is better. After the coating has completely dried, gently polishing the wood surface with a cleaning cloth will achieve a more ideal gloss effect. The third or final coat of colorless wood wax oil will have a better effect on areas with high wear strength. Generally, one to two coats are sufficient, and three coats ensure better coverage and a fuller effect.
