Wood protection: The benefits of Oxy-oil
In recent years, oil treatment of wooden floors and furniture has intensified both in private homes as well as in public and commercial buildings. Oxy-oil serves as a fitting solution to bring wood protection to the next level. 
Varnishing and waxing have been the most common methods for the protection of wooden floor and furniture for many decades. With increased environmental awareness of customers and rise of new living culture and standard, the demand for more environmental and natural alternatives has seen an upward trend.
The benefits of protecting wood flooring with oil
Water and oil borne preservatives have been used for the treatment of wood. Water, even though it is safe, low cost and leaves a clean surface after the application, swells the wood. Oil, on the other hand, provides moisture repellency and greater efficacy. Though varnishing or waxing is one way of treating and protecting wood for the long term, oil treatment additionally maintains the wood’s ability to breathe and influences the indoor climate positively. At the same time, the wood surface is protected and keeps out water and dirt.
The natural solution
To meet the rising trend for more natural floor and furniture systems, Oxy-oil or oxidative oil is an alternative and organic solution of wood protection. It is made of natural or nature-identical raw materials consisting of a mixture of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids esters. They are structurally different in terms of oil length and type of oil, which most other seed oils are made of. It does not contain any fungicide or biocide. The natural ingredient of the oil itself acts as a fungicide preventing the growth of mildew.
The feature and benefit of Oxy-oil is the fast drying time and its easy application. When applied on the wood, it penetrates deep into the grains of the wood, dries within a few minutes and creates a natural look and feel. This gives the wood a natural accentuation and creates a breathable and matt surface. The thin layer which does not form a continuous film allows the wood pores to remain clearly visible making the furniture and flooring appear more vivid as the Oxy-oil particularly emphasizes the wood structure. Apart from the optic effect, Oxy-oiled flooring and furniture can also absorb and release humidity unimpededly. The breathability of wood helps reduce bad odor from the wood substrate in wood flooring and antique furniture.
To enhance the beauty of the wood while preserving it, Oxy-oil can also be tinted with different colours before being applied to the wood substrates. It offers a wide range of compatibility to carpenters and the wood-working industry in general.
Future outlook for Oxy-oil
Scarcity of wood resources has reached critical level over the last decade, thus, wood or wood based products must be sustainable and longer lasting. Concern for the environment has changed the industry view on the use of preservative chemicals, especially in the manufacturing process for residential construction, such as wooden furniture, decking and flooring.
