If you’re looking for tung oil-based finishes, you’ve found the right company!  Waterlox has been using tung oil as the ideal base in wood finishes for over 90 years. Why? Because tung oil is… • Completely Natural and  Renewable  comes from the nut of the tung tree • Time-Tested - used as long ago as the 14th Century to waterproof Chinese ships • The best-penetrating drying oil available - smaller molecules penetrate even the densest woods • Remains elastic - moves with wood during the changes in seasons and is easy to maintain However, Tung oil alone is NOT recommended for use on floors, counter tops, and furniture that are heavily used because it doesn’t form a film and will therefore water spot, not stand up to foot traffic, attract dirt, and need to be reapplied frequently.   Waterlox’s exclusive process takes tung oil, resin, mineral spirits, and other ingredients to produce a complete wood finish that gives you the look and feel of a naturally-oiled wood, with the additional benefit of forming a surface that is waterproof, stands up to foot traffic, and protects against household spills.  Like pure tung oil, Waterlox is easy to apply, repair, and re-coat when necessary.
