As a result, it contains no toxic ingredients such as tribenzene, formaldehyde and heavy metals, no pungent odors, and can be used as an alternative to paint for home decoration and outdoor garden woodwork.
Application of wood wax oil: At present, wood wax oil began to become an important coating means of pure solid wood furniture, the more well-known furniture brands in China are in a large number of applications of wood wax oil, and has been widely recognized, and even some large brands of furniture also began to use this kind of environmentally friendly coating in the interior of furniture. Wood wax oil on the basis of wood requirements are relatively high, usually used in North American wood and other more hard, their own texture color and other better solid wood furniture. Generally common pine and fir trees, such as less use, leather furniture is not possible to use wood wax oil.

First, what are the basic requirements when applying wood wax oil
Wood wax oil as a new generation of home paint has been familiar to many people, then how to use wood wax oil for application, in order to let everyone have a deeper understanding of the use of wood wax oil, the following small editor to give you a detailed introduction:
White blank requirements: wood moisture content of not more than 20%, with 150 to 220 purposes sandpaper sanding wood to the surface smooth and flat, nail eye, scar hole eye with transparent or the same color putty patch to flat, or with (wood chips) saw wood surface plus 502 glue seam, and do grinding treatment. This is the basic grinding procedure before using wood wax oil.
After the grinding is done, the rest is cleaning, using wood wax oil to paint the surface before cleaning, drying, grease-free and dusty. After opening the can of wood wax oil fully stirred to a uniform, with a cloth, hard brush, rollers and other tools to buy wood wax oil evenly along the direction of wood texture brush, slightly dry surface such as uneven wood wax oil with clean cotton cloth wipe off, so that the painted wood surface smooth. Wood surface brush in place, do not leave a dead end, if the need for gloss, 4 hours after drying can be polished with a clean cloth, in order to achieve a bright effect, direct brushing, no need to bottom, no dilution, stirring evenly, brush once or twice.
Second, the shortcomings of wood wax oil:
1, wood wax oil finished the surface is open effect, there is no paint such as plumpness and filling effect, feel is not plump, surface hardness, wear resistance also depends mostly on the properties of wood, for people who do not like it may be a disadvantage.
2, wood wax oil can not be very good shade, wood wax oil is very difficult to cover some defects on the original wood, but if the quality of wood is very good and texture is also very good then wood wax oil can be fully reconcile, so this may also be its advantage.

5, adjust the natural humidity: because vegetable oil seeps into the wood surface does not form a protective layer of lacquer film layer, can be through the wood’s textured holes for humidity exchange, so as to avoid indoor humidity is too low leading to uneven local moisture content of wood, so that the stability of wood can be guaranteed.
6, breathing nature: wood can breathe freely not only to ensure the stability of wood, but also to make the wood inside some inclusions (scientifically identified: wood inside there are many beneficial inclusions to the human body) can be slowly released, so as to get a natural healthy environment.
7, excellent durability: wood wax oil surface will not be like the paint surface in the wood surface to form a protective layer, so we can not ask for the same as the paint wear resistance, these are two different concepts. And we should be more concerned about durability, that is, the length of time used. It has been proved by practice that wood coated with wax oil has been properly maintained, and its use time is much longer than that of painted wood surface.
8, anti-yellowing: by using the correct wood wax oil products, can prevent conifer and light broad-leaved yellow and red.
9, easy to repair: because the wood wax oil penetrates into the wood, so it is not easy to damage, and after the damage can be easily repaired by repairing the oil.
10, environmental protection: because wood wax oil does not contain formaldehyde, heavy metals and other harmful substances to human body, so its use is more and more extensive.
