The difference between wood oil and wood wax oil

Normally, when processing various things, including in industrialization, some raw materials are used. There are many types of production of these raw materials. For example, many people don’t know how to distinguish between wood oil and wood wax oil. In fact, there are big differences between these types, and they are also similar. Let us take a look at how to distinguish them specifically.

The real tung oil and wood oil are golden or brown in color. They are both benign drying oils, glossy, and inedible. They are waterproof, airtight, non-conductive, acid- and alkali-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and resistant to cold and heat. It is widely used in paint, plastic, electrical appliances, artificial rubber, artificial leather, artificial gasoline, ink and other manufacturing industries.

Compared with wood wax oil, wood oil and tung oil are not as widely used, and their quality, feel and other aspects are also slightly inferior! Therefore, the current price of wood oil or tung oil on the market is much cheaper than that of Ezes wood wax oil.

Due to the wood oil maintenance period, weather resistance is poor. Nowadays, wood oil is rarely used in wooden structures such as outdoor wooden houses, villas, garden landscapes, etc. Instead, outdoor weather-resistant wood wax oil is used, which is much better than wood oil. But the unit price of wood wax oil is more expensive than wood oil. Let’s briefly talk about the difference between wood oil and wood wax oil.

The effect of wood wax oil is that the oil can penetrate into the interior of the wood and deeply moisturize and maintain the wood. Wax can closely bond with wood fibers, enhance surface hardness, and resist water and stains. Therefore, this golden combination can provide the best beautification and protection for wood.

Market Analysis: At present, the domestic wood wax oil market is just in its infancy. Due to the lack of standards, various products with the name of wood wax oil are flooding the market. They can be roughly divided into the following categories:

The first category: wood oil is called wood wax oil, which is also the most common category. This type of outdoor product is both colorless and colored. It does not contain wax ingredients and contains more solvents. Due to the low solid content, the coloring properties of the colors are often poor. Usually 1L can only be used to apply 5 to 8 square meters. Although the price is low, the surface effect after application is not good, it is relatively dry, and the performance deteriorates quickly. Generally, it can only last about 1 year when used outdoors.

The second category: paint with a new look. The characteristic of this type is that it can be applied like paint, and a paint film is produced after application, with high gloss and fullness. Although the original solvents such as rosin water with unpleasant odor are replaced by environmentally friendly low-odor solvents, there are no improvements in other aspects. It still has the typical characteristics of paint, which is completely different from the characteristics of real wood wax oil that does not form a surface layer and completely penetrates into the wood. People who have used this type of "wood wax oil" are often disappointed, thinking that the wood wax oil is not as good as advertised, it just has a smaller odor, but the price is much more expensive than paint.

Category 3: authentic products. The price of a single product is slightly high, but the product series is rich, with corresponding sub-products for different indoor and outdoor uses. Its formula is relatively complex, with hard wax ingredients such as palm wax added, so the surface effect is quite good, it feels smooth and moisturized, and it has good waterproof and stain-resistant properties. People who have used it often want to use it again next time. Due to the high solid content, the coating rate is also relatively high. Usually 1L can coat 16~26㎡.
